• 1 serving olive oil cooking spray (such as PAM®)
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  
• 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
  

1. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Spray the broiler pan's rack with olive oil cooking spray.
2. Sprinkle tilapia with sazon seasoning and arrange on the prepared broiler rack.
3. Mix the Parmesan cheese, butter-margarine blend, fat-free mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, basil, black pepper, onion powder, and celery salt together in a bowl and set aside.
