Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Submitted by Damon R.

"This is a wonderful recipe that will work with any white fish. I prefer the Tilapia, as it is so mild. This is quick and easy. We serve it with Jasmine Rice, and Black Beans!"

I followed the recipe exactly, but added some garlic powder, onion powder and paprika (for color) to the compound butter mixture. I also sprinkled some Panko crumbs mixed with a little parsley flakes on top of the butter/cheese mixture just prior to the final broiling. I cannot say how excellent this was.

This is delicious, although I made several changes. On other reviewer's recommendations, I baked my fish for a while before adding the topping.....so glad I did. The topping just melted away. I loved the taste, but I didn't get a nice firm topping. Thanks for sharing!
