Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

So…. It’s been awhile…  I’ve been busy and a great deal of what I have been cooking is already on these pages. 
Tonight is something new.  The original recipe comes from Sparkrecipes.com, but I have made a few adjustments to make it lighter.
Tilapia is one of my favorite fishies.  I usually buy the 15lb case of frozen individual filets from Harris Teeter when they run it on sale.  It doesn’t take long to go through it in our household.


Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Ingredients
2 Tbsp Kraft Grated Parmesan cheese
1Tbsp low fat margarine, softened
3 tablespoons fat free mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery seed (or celery salt)
3 tilapia fillets

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange filets on broiler pan coated with non-stick spray.
Mix all other ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.



Cook filets for about 8 – 10 minutes (depends on thickness).  Remove from oven. 
Turn on Broiler.  Flip the filets and coat with the mayo/parm mixture.
Put back into the oven for about two minutes.  ** Keep an eye on these.  They will burn in a hurry if you don’t!
When mixture is melted and browned to your taste, remove and ENJOY!!

Note- I plated this dish tonight with my “Squash Sauce”.  This sauce was introduced to me by Chef Brad at Croissant’s Bistro and Bakery during my private lesson.



We’ll review it another day!!
