Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

Ingredients:

• 6 4-ounce Tilapia fillet
• 1/4 cup reduced fat grated parmesan cheese (12 tsp)
• 3 Tbsp lo-cal butter spread (like Brummel & Brown)
• 1.5 tsp light Miracle Whip dressing
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp celery seed
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp ground basil

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiler pan or line a baking sheet 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 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes.
4. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 3 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.
