Corn-Flake Crusted Fish Fillets With Chile-Cilantro Aioli
"I love using different crusts on fish and chicken. This is excellent with a white fillet such as catfish, tilapia or halibut. The mayonnaise aioli has just enough spice to really compliment the fish!"

I would give this recipe more than 5 stars. The Chili Cilantro Aioli is wonderful. I used basa filet omitted the egg for dipping and just rinsed the fish in water dipped in the crumbs and they adhered beautifully. The fish was crispy on the outside and moist inside - The sauce just set it off. I used a Jalapeno pepper as serrano peppers were not available, Served with Belgian Endive salad - wonderful dinner thanks MommaMakes
