Yummy Fish

Over a year ago I received a sample magazine from AllRecipes. I paged through the magazine and I liked what I saw. They had some yummy recipes that I knew my family would enjoy. I also knew that I wouldn’t be ordering the magazine. I could see what their magazine style was going to be and it wasn’t a style I enjoy. When a magazine arrives at my door with over 100 recipes to try it makes me a little panicky. I would rather stick to my trusty Fine Cooking and discover a recipe from AllRecipes.com when I am in need. I did, however, pull out this recipe and a few others for future use and I am so happy that I did.

We call this recipe “Yummy Fish” because it is so darn yummy. You can change up some of the ingredients, like I typically do, and end up with a delicious dinner. One of the things I love about cooking fish is how quick and easy it can be. Even if I have frozen fish fillets in the freezer I can have dinner on the table in half an hour. The recipe below is the basic one I work from. It is changed from the original and it is typically changed when I cook dinner. But the recipe below is a great starting point. I’ve used left over aioli, sour cream, seasoned mayo and a large variety of spices.

Enjoy!

 

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

2 T. butter, softened

1 T. plain yogurt

1 T. lemon juice

1/8 tsp. dried basil

1/8 tsp. black pepper

1/8 tsp. onion powder

1 lb. tilapia fillets

Preheat your broiler. Line a broiling pan with foil.

In a small bowl, mix everything but the fish.

Arrange fillets in a single layer on the pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for three minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for three more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for two more minutes or until the topping is browned. The fish should be cooked through and flaky.
