directions

  • Set oven to broiler heat.
  • Grease a broiler pan, then line with foil and grease the foil slightly.
  • In a small bowl mix together Parmesan cheese, butter, mayo, lemon juice and garlic.
  • Add in all the remaining seasonings and salt if using; mix well and set aside.
  • Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan (you sprinkle salt on fish but it is not necessary).
  • Broil a few inches from the heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn the fish over and broil a couple minutes more.
  • Remove from oven and cover them with the Parmesan mixture on the top side only.
  • Return to oven and broil for about 2 minutes more or until the topping is browned and the fish flakes easily (do not overcook the fish!).

  1. This is the most delicious fish that I've ever eaten (and I've eaten many a fish)- better than in the finest restaurants. I omitted the celery salt because I didn't have any and baked instead of broiled it. I brush lemon juice on top and immediately covered the tilapia with Parmesan mixture and baked it , uncovered, at 350F degrees for 10 minutes. Then, increased heat to 425F degrees for 8 minutes to brown topping. Baking the fish with the Parmesan mixture on top the entire time made the fish more moist than adding it later- not to mention it was easier! I made enough for leftovers and warmed up the leftovers with a little water added to a small pan covered with foil in the toaster oven for 20 minutes at 375F. It was just as wonderful as the first day that I made it. Divine! Thank you, Kittencal.
     
  2. This was awesome and inspired me to change it up a bit to have little less calories and fat.<br/>I used 3 tbsp olive oil and 3 tbsp of light mayo instead. It was really wonderful and is now going to be a recipe in our regular rotation.
     
  3. Found this on Pinterest and made it using Cod fillets. TOTALLY 5 STARS! It is moist and delicious. My husband raved... definitely will make again!
     
  4. This is an excellent recipe. I used ocean perch because that's what I had available. I had to use lime juice as I didn't have a lemon. Matters not. It was excellent. Four adults who can't agree on anything, all agreed that this dish was superb!
     
  5. This was delicious. Even my picky 6 year old liked it. Thank you!

  1. This is the best fish recipe that I have made and so easy! I've already made it twice in one week! My teens loved it! I HATE mayonnaise, so I substituted plain Greek yogurt in place of the mayo for me, and used mayo for the family. I also used celery flakes instead of celery salt. I made it with swai and talapia filets. My pieces were thick, so I broiled each side for 4-5 minutes on 2nd tier, not 1st tier, in oven (further from heat), then broiled for 3-4 minutes after topping. So good!!!
     
  2. Really love this recipe...the only change I made was substituting Old Bay seasoning for the celery seasoning, since I didn't have any of the celery seasoning. My husband and I eat fish, especially Tilapia (since it is most available in our area) at least once a week. I am always looking for good, healthy ways to make it. Thanks!
     
  3. Allow me to add my praise to this wonderful recipe. I stuck to the recipe with two exceptions. I dusted the filets well on both sides with a good Cajun seasoning before broiling and I used celery seed instead of celery salt. The end result was so good that I am going out to buy more tilapia for tomorrow night. Soooo good!!! Thanks Kittencal for posting.
     
  4. There's a local restaurant that serves this with blue cheese dressing instead of mayo but I'm not a fan of blue cheese so this is perfect for me. I love this!
     
  5. This was absolutely delicious, I can't give it enough stars, and so elegant to boot. I am not a fish lover but I had seconds, the kids cleaned their plates, and my husband, a diabetic, was delighted. We used fresh basil instead of dried, and celery seed instead of celery salt, so the herbal flavor was noticeable. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
