I love that simple Parmesan cheese brings such richness to an otherwise mild-tasting fish. It's one dish where leftovers are never a problem! —Tracy Locken, Gillette, Wyoming

Ingredients

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

4 lemon wedges

In a small bowl, mix the first 7 ingredients. Arrange fillets in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Spread cheese mixture over fish.

This is one of those recipes I just keep returning to again and again. So easy and so delicious! I made it for my in-laws one night when they were visiting, and now they have it twice a week!

I made this fantastic recipe last night, I will definitely make this again to serve to company!I only made one filet so I quartered the recipe substituting celery seed for celery salt as that was what I had. Easy to make and looks and tastes like restaurant quality!

I just seen this recipe on the email I received today. It sounded good, so I through it together and stuck it in the boiler. My Tilapia was frozen, so I had to boil it longer (around 8 to 10 minutes), but it turned out ssoooo good, I loved it. This has got to be my best Tilapia recipe now. My husband doesn't like Tilapia period, but I can't wait for him to try this.

This was really really good, but there was so much butter in it that I had an upset stomach for hours afterward. I think I might try to lower the butter somehow. I only made 1 large filet, but only cut the topping in half and that was the right amount. Because it was a thicker, larger filet, it took longer to cook, somewhere around 8 minutes. We will make this again, but I'll try to figure out a way to lower the butter.
