Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

This was easy and very good. From www.allrecipes.com, but with a few modifications:

Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
4 Tbsp panko bread crumbs (they're Japanese, you can find them with the other breadcrumbs)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 pound tilapia fillets

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, butter, mayonnaise and lime juice. Season with Italian seasoning, pepper, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the Parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

I served it with rice, but I think it'd be better with bread and steamed veggies. This took about 15 minutes from start to finish!
