"I love fish, but since I am the only one in my family that eats it, I never cook it at home. This is an easy recipe to start with for me. Recipe notes: In Key West, the fish fillets would be grouper, but sole, flounder, or whatever is on sale will work."

I used a nice 1 1/2 to 2" thick piece of grouper, and this was just fabulous! Loved the lime juice with this....it complimented the other flavors perfectly. Since my fish was so thick, it was almost 8 ounces so halved the rest of the ingredients to serve one. Cooked a bit longer because of the thickness, but just by a couple of minutes. Thanks for sharing! Made for Football Tag game!

So tasty and so easy! I used butter crackers instead of saltines because I had some on hand, otherwise made as directed. I was skeptical about the lime with the other flavors but it was really good. I used tilapia and the fish was perfectly cooked in 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I also used tilapia. This is a great recipe for white fish. I used less butter to make it healthier. The seasoning was perfect. Thanks AZPARZYCH :) Made for PRMR tag game

We also used tilapia. I forgot to mix in the garlic, and sprinkled it on top with the lime juice. My son really liked the lime juice instead of lemon. Thanks for posting!

We really enjoyed this recipe for baked fish. I made as directed as far as the ingrediants and it was a perfect combination and amount of breading for 5 small Tailpia fillets. I baked my fish for 20 minutes at 375 degrees then turned the oven to broil to brown the top for about 2 -3 minutes. Loved the lime juice as I usually use lemon. Thanks so much for sharing another great recipe for fish. Made for PRMR

I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)!  I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005.  I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it!  I love grilling and baking.  I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time!  I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best!  Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking. As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites.  I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day!  Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites. I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes.  Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!
