This is one of the best fish recipes I ever made. It tastes better than fried! Everyone loved it, even my son who doesn't like fish. I served it with baked potatoes and salad and it was perfect for a Saturday night supper. We eat fish often so I am definitely making this again with different types of fish. Thanks for a great fish recipe. -
This is a really easy and quick dish to prepare. I didn't change a thing, except to adjust the ingredients for six filets instead of four. The whole family absolutely loved it, including one who says she doesn't like fish. I served it with a salad and some parmesan angel hair pasta. It took me less than 40 minutes from start to finish to prepare the entire meal. I will definately be making this again. Thanks for posting it. -
This recipe was wonderful!! What flavor!! Just a hint: I halved the recipe and used 2 large fillets. There was enough leftover "batter" for 2 more. Felt that was a bit of a waste, so will 1/4 the recipe next time. DELICIOUS!! Thank you Wendy!

Very good! I recently prepared cat fish and did not care for it. I had extra fish frozen and I thought it was going to go to waste, until I stumbled upon your recipe; because we had a delicious dinner tonight! I used dried parsley instead; and did have to bake the fish a bit longer, about 25-30 minutes total. I served this with a side of browned butter for dipping; I also tried it with just lemon juice. Both tasted very good. Thanks, Wendy! -
Wow! We really liked this fish. I used panko crumbs in stead of the bread crumbs. I will be making this a lot.

I am not a big fish fan but I made this for my husband and he absolutely LOVED this. I use plain dry breadcrumbs instead of the soft breadcrumbs. I also have used this coating on thin cut chicken breast and it was just excellent. Easy to make and the crust is so crispy. Thank you so very much for posting an excellent meal! -
I got a variation of this recipe from my mother-in-law years ago, and it sure is a crowd pleaser. "Our" version has paprika instead of garlic & oregano, and sliced almonds sprinkled over the top before it goes in the oven. I've never served it to anyone who doesn't like it!

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
