Thank you, Kittencal - Another truly delicious recipe from your kitchen. To ensure a crisp crust on both sides of the fish I put a cooling wire rack in the baking pan, lightly sprayed it with a cooking spray, then added the fish fillets. I also sprayed the tops of the fish for additional crunch and baked per your directions. Excellent! -
This is my go-to breaded fish recipe in my book of printouts in my kitchen! So easy to change up the spice blend if you're in the mood for something different, but following the recipe's spice blend is delicious! Thanks for another great one kittencal :) -
Another great recipe and I just added this to my favorites, Didn't play with it, real like the taste and texture. But I have to play with my food. To come up with other potential, Before attempting this again, I'll have to figure out what seasonings to use, by reading all of the review, and see that will work for others, and than for me, to make it more flavorful or lot better for me to do, that will be hard to on this! Anyway, excellent to do a SCRATCH on recipes. The more I play with my food, the more I love cooking, to make a recipe that will work for me, that is!! Than I can do the happy food dance!! I've will added this to my recipe book with my additions. THANK YOU!! 5 Stars; no; 8-10 is more like it. -

This is another great recipe from kittencal! I absolutely love your recipe for this fish. I was looking for a lot fat/low calorie alternative to a battered fried fish. This was so easy to make, and took only a few minutes to get everything together. All the ingredients were things I already had on hand. I used tilapia fillets, and could not be more pleased with the taste and texture of this breading. The breading got cripsy which was wonderful. I am personally not a fan of fish, but was won over by this dish. Thanks to you I will be making fish much more often!
