Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened. Add cheese, dry mustard, and garlic powder. Continue to cook and stir until cheese is melted.

gotta try that. I sometimes coat them in mayo, then broil, draws the oil out.

Some of my favorites:

1. Mix some hot sauce with some butter on the stove. Take that mixture, rub the whole fillet with it. Sprinkle on some breadcrumbs. Cook in the oven.

2. Mix some mayo, fresh dill, lemon juice, scallions, together. Take that mixture and rub it all over the fish - all sides, so its completely covered. Get the broiler on your oven up very hot. Cook for 15 minutes or so.
