I will be using this recipe often, it's definitely a keeper in my house. I used tilapia because that's what I had, and one whole egg instead of two egg whites for dipping. Also, to the egg, I added about 2 tbsp of a "herb and garlic" marinade. I forgot the paprika when making the coating mixture, and I'm sure it will be a fabulous addition next time. I did add a dash of red pepper flakes. I did not have any bread crumbs on hand, and I'm sure there would have been enough coating for my fish if I had added those. With just the cornflakes, it was not enough to coat a pound of fish, but the fillets that did get coated were super crunchy and yummy. I also thought the kosher salt did not distribute evenly even though I pulsed everything together in the mini food processor - some bites were saltier than others. However, the brand of kosher salt I bought last time seems chunkier and larger than usual, so maybe that was the problem. An easy enough problem to correct the next time. My husband complimented the fish highly, and he rarely makes any comments so I knew then it was a definite keeper. Thanks for posting! -
This was easy and I had everything in the pantry. Thanks for a healthy and quick recipe. -
My husband and I loved the recipe. I used a Long Island fish called a Ling, much like cod, nice and flaky. The only changes I did was not use the salt because there was plenty in the bread crumbs, and with the other spices it didn't need it. I also used the entire egg because that is just what I am used to. I also flipped the fish over for the last five minutes because the top of the fish looked dry and didn't brown. Great recipe! I would use it on any kind of fish! Will make again, thanks for sharing! -
Sorry, this was just okay for me, my DH thought it was good. It just tasted to "powdered" for me I guess. I got an overwhelming tast of the garlic and onion powder than I didn't like. Thanks for posting and I will try again, but with less of the seasonings. -
Started out with 4 cod steaks and ended up with half of one by the end of the night :) This was a great way to prepare cod. I really enjoyed the seasonings, they added just enough flavor. Bravo! I will be making these again sometime for dinner.

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
