Great fish dish with an unusual topping. The shrimp are very nice in that topping. An easy recipe and very nice for a dinner party.

A great recipe! I used 8 thin sole fillets, omitted the white wine and drained the liquid after baking the fillets.

I have made this several times and everyone says it taste like something from a nice resturant. Most want the recipe, but some just ask me to make it again and be sure to invite them. Thanks Geema.

I agree... wow! This recipe was absolutely delicious, even though I took some shortcuts and made some substitutions. Green onion was a good substitute for the freshness of parsley, which I didn't have on hand. I also omitted the tarragon, which I didn't have, either. The shrimp I used were rather low quality shrimp that I wanted to get rid of, but you in this recipe you couldn't tell! Thank SO much for a simple, EASY, delicious recipe that my hubby and I just loved.

I made this a while ago and forgot to make my review. WOW!!! and a WOW again. I eat fish on a regular basis and this recipe was so good. My husband brought leftovers to work the next day and had people following him back from the microwave. I used Basa filets and marinaded for 8 hours. I left out the tarragon and capers and instead added 1/8 cup of soy sauce to both the marinade and the topping. I also didn't add the bread crumbs until I was just about to put the topping on the fish and I loved it. The aroma alone will fill your kitchen.
