Lemon Parmesan Tilapia

 

December, 2007

2 ½ pounds tilapia fillets
2-4 teaspoons butter
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon slices
Fresh parsley

Top tilapia fillets with butter and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.  Broil about 4 inches from the source of heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested.  Combine mayonnaise, remaining lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.  Top each portion of fish with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce and broil 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce puffs and turns golden brown.  Place fillets on serving plate and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
