Season with salt and pepper. Spread half the mayo over fish. Place fish under preheated broiler, about 4 inches from source of heat. Broil for 10 minutes per inch thickness of thickest portion, turning once 3 minutes before end of cooking time to spread with remaining mayo and top with onions and cheese/crumb mixture. Serves 4. Especially nice with firm white fish fillets, such as Snapper or Cod.
