Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets weighing 4 ounces each
  • 2 tbsp of Miami-style sazon seasoning known as sazon completa
  • 1 olive oil cooking spray serving, like PAM®
  • ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, grated finely
  • 2 tbsp of a butter-margarine blend like Smart Balance®, melted
  • 1 ½ tbsp of fat-free mayonnaise, for instance, Kraft®
  • 2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp of lemon zest, freshly grated
  • ⅛ tsp of dried basil
  • ⅛ tsp of ground black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp of onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp of celery salt

Step 1

To start, let's create some culinary magic! Begin by igniting the oven's broiler and adjusting the oven rack to a cozy spot just 6 inches away from the fiery heat. For easy clean-up, cover a broiler pan with a shiny sheet of aluminum foil and give the pan's rack a gentle mist of olive oil cooking spray.

Step 2

Now, let's jazz up our tilapia with a sprinkle of sazon seasoning and lovingly place them on the prepared broiler rack, ready to dance under the broiler's glow.

Step 3

While the fish sizzles and sings, let's whip up a tantalizing blend in a bowl: Parmesan cheese, a velvety butter-margarine duo, a dollop of fat-free mayo, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of lemon zest, a hint of basil, a crack of black pepper, a whisper of onion powder, and a sprinkle of celery salt.

Step 4

Once the fish is kissed by the broiler and barely opalescent, it's time to generously coat those fillets with the Parmesan cheese blend. Back into the oven they go, a symphony of flavors mingling and mingling until the topping glistens with a golden hue and the fish tenderly flakes with a mere touch, a delicious finale in just 3 to 5 more minutes. Enjoy every bite of this culinary masterpiece!
