A rich cheese sauce tops off baked fish fillets.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb. tilapia fillets (orange roughy, cod or red snapper can be substituted)
  • 2 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 Tbs. or 1/2 stick butter, room temperature
  • 3 Tbs. mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbs. finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Dash of hot pepper sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In buttered 13 by 9 inch baking dish, lay fillets in single layer. Do not stack fillets. Brush top with juice. In bowl, combine cheese, butter, mayonnaise, onions and seasonings. Mix well with fork. Bake fish in preheated oven 10 to 20 minutes or until fish just starts to flake. Spread with cheese mixture and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use. Watch fish closely so that it does not overcook. Makes 4 servings. Note This fish can also be made in a broiler. Broil 3 to 4 minutes or until almost done. Add cheese and broil another 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.

  • Made this last nite. It is great!! We both loved it. I didn't have season salt so subbed lemon pepper. Will definitely do this again.

  • Great recipe, my family loves it! By the way, don't use the grated kraft parmesan, It doesn't have the right consistancy.

  • I cooked this last night with Flounder. My family loved it. I did use the grated parmesan, which is a world of difference from the kraft pizza parmesan. Will keep this one for future use. Thanks!!

  • I made this recipe just as soon as I received it. I add more green onion, use FRESH basil and add garlic to the sauce! I serve this regularly and have sent the recipe to family on the east coast, and they love it just as much as we do!!

  • I tried this recipe,with talapia very good. I mixed up a romaine and grape tomatos and put the talpia on top. YUM

  • I have a question...does the Parmesan cheese have to be fresh or can it be Kraft parmesan cheese that you use on pizza and spaghetti?

  • Tried this tonight. It was wonderful. I made it with rainbow trout and tilapia. I sauted mushrooms and sliced almonds and added it to the fish when I spread on the butter sauce. It was to die for. The fish was so tendered. I baked it for the first half and broiled it for the second half. Even my kids loved it. This will definitely be added to my regular menu.

  • My mom made white fish w/cheese for most of my growing up years. I usually use a cheddar sauce but parmesan sounds good too!
