(sorry for the pictures, but I'm not a photographer. I'm not going to go out and buy a big fancy camera just to post on a blog, I'm more about taste, not looks anyway =) )

Broiled Tilapia Parmesean
Don't you get sick of chicken and beef all the time? You can only have pork chops so much too. I like to change things up once in awhile, but I am a cheapskate and don't want to fork out the money for the expensive cuts of meat. Usually the only fish I like is salmon and I can't stand it when it has that "fishy" taste. You know the taste I'm talking about. Since some fish can be expensive too, it's hard to find a good quality one without the "taste." Then I discovered tilapia. This is fast becoming one of my favorites. It is nice and tender, and doesn't taste fishy (can you tell how obsessed I am with my fish having a certain taste?). One of the best things about this recipe is how fast and easy it is. It is a nice and simple recipe.
½ c. parmesean
¼ c. butter
3 tbsp. mayo
2 tbsp. lemon juice
¼ tsp basil
1/ 4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp oinion powder
1/8 tsp celery salt (I use celery seed and it a dash of salt)
2 lbs tilapia
Mix parmesain, butter, mayo, lemon juice. Add basil, pepper, oinion powder, celery salt. Set aside.
Broil tilapia fillets 2-3 minutes, flip over and broil 2-3 more minutes. Remove from oven, cover with parmesean mix. Broil until browned and the fish flakes easily.
I usually broil mine in the middle, so it takes about 6 minutes on the first side, then once I flip it, I broil it for about 5 minutes, then add the mix and broil for about 5 more minutes.
I love how simple this is to make, plus, it is low calorie. It's a nice welcome change from the usual suspects for dinner. Even if you're not a huge fan of fish, give it a whirl. Tilapia is a nice, tender fish. You will love it!
