Ingredients

• 4 tilapia fillets
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or grated)
• 2 Tablespoons butter room temperature
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/8 cup chopped chives (dried or fresh)
• 1/4 teaspoon season salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven broiler on high.
2. Place the tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with tinfoil and sprayed with non-stick spray.
3. Broil for 5 – 10 minutes (depending on thickness) or until almost done.
4. In a bowl combine the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, chives, season salt, dried basil, and black pepper and mix it well.
5. Spread the cheese mixture on the fish fillets and broil another 3 - 5 minutes or until browned. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

• You can use fresh tilapia filets or frozen but you will need to thaw them in the refrigerator first.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
• You can also bake this dish. Bake the fish in an oven preheated to 425 degrees F for 10 - 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Spread the fish with the cheese mixture and bake or broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. (I highly recommend broiling for the last 5 minutes for browning the cheese.) Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use.
