A tasty, healthy main dish with easy cleanup. What's not to love? Lemon and rosemary go so well with this delicate fish. I seasoned the fish with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper at the same time as the paprika. While the fish was baking, I made a rice pilaf and steamed asparagus on the stove top. A delightful meal! -
I just made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful. I did not have any lemons but used lemon pepper instead and sat the fish on sliced onions. It needed 20 minutes to cook as they were quite thick (basa fillets). This is a keeper. Thank you. -
This is my style of cooking. Wrapping the fish in foil helps to keep it moist. It also makes clean up a breeze. This was served with a foil wrapped packet of asparagus and mushrooms. Made for PAC Spring 2011. -
This recipe just did not work out for us. I don't know if our fish was bad or we just didn't like the taste (hence the no stars) I usually love your recipes Starry so I'm sure this was an oops on my part. I apologize! -
The flavor of lemon and rosemary is a great combination. I used sliced tomatoes, otherwise followed the recipe. It had a great flavor, but we found it to be floating in juices, this is the only downside we saw, it could have been the tomatoes or just very moist tilapia.
