"I think this was one of my Mum's dishes, but I'm not sure. Be that as it may it's a good one. On these hot summer days my portable oven goes out to the patio table to keep the heat out of the house but this dish cooks so quickly that's not necessary. I've done it using Roughy, cod, Alaskan Cod, Snapper, and even Tilapia. You can not go wrong as near as I can tell."

Excellent recipe.

This gets 5* from me because my fish-reluctant daughter had a third helping! We all loved this, actually, and I especially loved how quick and easy it was to prepare. I used a 1 Lb. package of frozen orange roughy, which happened to be 8 fillets. I did not use clarified butter, just regular butter, and I only used about 1 T. of green onion. The flavor was fantastic and the directions are perfect....we had perfectly cooked fish in the amount of time stated. Thanks so much Pierre for a recipe that gets my daughter to eat fish :)

This was very good! As I didn't have any ghee on hand I just used melted butter--I was in a hurry. I used some orange roughy and some deep-sea dory fillets. I did everything else as listed in the recipe and we really liked the flavor of the topping especially--I didn't add any salt, as I had some pretty salty parmesan. Thanks for posting!!

I'm a 73 year old male. I live in the desert in Southeast Wasington. Yes, Virginia, Southeast Washington is Desert, Cacti, Sage Brush, Wile E. Coyote, the whole nine yards.The Columbia River flows through the middle of it and is its saving grace. Some of the jobs. I've held are Well Driller, Aircraft Machanic, Handyman, Electrician,Merchant Seaman, And most recently Long haul Driver.My hobbies are cooking, Kite making, and Good movies (plus anything that strikes my fancy) My first cookbook was Fanny Farmer Original Boston Cooking School Cookbook and its still the first of all of my cookbooks that I go to. It has the best Biscuit recipe going and the only change I make to its Cornbread recipe is to add a half teaspoon of Cayenne to bring out the flavor of the cornmeal. I injured my knee and have had the last year off and what I've done is go quietly mad. I'm now semi retired and try to figure out plan 'E'. A, B, C, and D phased out so it's time to move on, where, the hell ever, that is.
