Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

I bought some Tilapia and Catfish that was part of a promotion at one of our grocery stores this weekend. I froze the catfish and started looking online for a good recipe for the tilapia. I came across this little gem on All Recipes to use as my base recipe. The sauce is SOOO good! It was easy to make, cooked in just a few minutes and I LOVED it! I made all the sauce and had 1.25 lbs of fish, but thought the amount of sauce was perfect. I think I'm becoming a fish lover :-)!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds tilapia fillets

DIRECTIONS
-Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
-In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Add spices: dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt (and garlic powder and red pepper flakes). Mix well and set aside.
-Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. (I sprinkled fish with Goya seasoning salt before putting under broiler)
-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.
