My husband is NOT a seafood fan at all but he loved this recipe. It reminded me a litle bit of a Tilapia with Butter and Lemon Sauce that they serve at Denny's. This one has Parmesan cheese which makes it way better in my opinion.
2 lbs tilapia fillets (orange roughy, red snapper and cod can be substituted)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter at room temperature
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoon finely chopped green onions (I used fresh chives)
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt (or Bay Seasoning)
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
Preheat oven to 350.
In a buttered 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish or jellyroll pan, lay fillets in a single layer. Do not stack fillets. Brush top with juice.
Combine butter, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, onions and seasonings. Mix well with fork.
Bake fish in preheated oven for 10-20 minutes or until it starts to flake ( I baked the tilapia fillets for 15 minutes).
Spread with cheese mixture and bake until golden brown, 5 minutes (Mine did not brown during the 5 minutes so I broiled the fish until golden brown).
Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use. Watch fish closely so it does not overcook.
Makes 4 servings
Note: This fish can also be made in a broiler. Broil 3-4 minutes or until almost done. Spread the cheese mixture on top and broil for another 2-3 minutes or until browned.
