Kittencalskitchen's Note:

You'll love this fish recipe! I have also made this with other meaty fish fillets too, works well with basa fillets also!

3. In a small bowl mix together Parmesan cheese, butter, mayo, lemon juice and garlic.
4. Add in all the remaining seasonings and salt if using; mix well and set aside.
5. Arrange the fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan (you sprinkle salt on fish but it is not necessary).
6. Broil a few inches from the heat for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Turn the fish over and broil a couple minutes more.
8. Remove from oven and cover them with the Parmesan mixture on the top side only.
9. 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!).

This was awesome and inspired me to change it up a bit to have little less calories and fat.
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.

This was delicious. Even my picky 6 year old liked it. Thank you!

My 4 fillets were pretty thin so I halved the recipe. I also spread the mixture on the fillets and baked at 375 for 14 minutes as directed on the pkg of tilapia and then broiled the last few minutes. I loved this and will definitely make again. Thanks.
