I thought this was a very tasty recipe. The sauce was nice and "zingy" to go with the fish. I think next time though I won't bother to cut up the fish and just serve whole, but great recipe. Thanks for posting!:)

Very yummy! I think I used the wrong brand of Cajun seasoning (Zatarains), as it came out really salty and I didn't add any extra salt. With a better, and spicier, seasoning it would have been great. Thanks!

Very nice way to prepare fish! Quick to throw together and you get the nice crunchy crust without frying. A keeper!
