For my first post, I thought I would use this recipe for fish since I rarely cook fish; maybe twice a year. Had I bought fresh fish this recipe would have been outstanding, however, I used frozen fish and have decided to never again use frozen or pre-packaged fish. The topping for the fish was cheesy, creamy, and a little tangy and I probably could have scraped it off the fish and eaten it by itself. I imagine it would also taste great on chicken. This recipe took about 20 minutes from start to finish and was very simple.
1 pound of tilapia fillets
1/4 cups Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise (I used low-fat miracle whip)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
I don't usually measure out my spices, I just season to taste. This is approximately how much I used.
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked paprika)
I sprinkled in a little cayenne for just a little extra kick
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Line a broiler pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Preheat broiler and lay fillets on foil.
Mix together all of the above ingredients and set aside.
Broil fish for 2 minutes depending on the thickness, mine were pretty thin so 2 minutes was plenty. Flip them over and broil another 2 minutes. Spread the cheese mixture on the top of the fish and broil until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
I tried to make this a little kid-friendly so I served it with waffle fries, but I think some steamed broccoli would go nicely on the side.
