Broiled Tilapia Parmesan - 4+ pts. per serving

I had seen this recipe for awhile on allrecipes, and finally decided to try it since I love tilapia. I am so glad I did!! It is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! It doesn't taste "fishy" either for those of you that don't like fish.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10+ minutes

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 cup butter (I use Smart Balance Light)

3 tablespoons mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's Reduced Fat Mayo)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon celery salt

2 pounds tilapia fillets

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

3. Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

Note:

The points value of this recipe depends upon the ingredients you use. Using light butter and low fat mayonnaise greatly reduces the points value. (And it doesn't afffect the taste at all!) Also, the cooking time will vary based on your broiler. Be sure to watch the fish carefully. I found that it took longer to broil mine than what the recipe stated.
