Broiled Parmesan Tilipia

Tilapia is my favourite fish.  It has fanastic flavour without being too fishy-- because we all know seafood tastes best when it doesn't taste like seafood, right?  It's also a very quick and easy recipe, but tastes like you put a whole lot of work into it. 

Broiled Parmesan Tilapia

1/4 c Parmesan cheese

2 T butter, softened

2 T mayonnaise

1 T lemon juice

1/8 t dried basil

1/8 t ground black pepper

1/4 t onion powder

2 6oz tilapia fillets

Place your oven rack in the highest position, and preheat to a broil.  Grease a broiling pan. 
Stir together the cheese, butter, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.  Add basil, pepper, and onion powder. 
Place fillets in a single layer on the broiling pan.  Broil for 2 minutes.  Flip and broil for another 2 minutes.  Spoon mixture onto the fish and broil for another two minutes, or until fish flakes with a fork and topping is slightly browned.  Do not overcook!
