Cilantro Lime Fish

"This is a good one for those of us who love lime, since that is the predominant flavor here. Use cod, flounder, or any firm white fish for this. I used Tilapia, and in place of the dried onion I used fresh. I served it with Recipe #120719. From Taste of Home's Quick Cooking (September/October 1999)."

  1. My son gave it 5 stars and says it's GREAT FOOD! My husband gave it a 3. My daughter said she loved it also. I think the cook time was a bit long. But that could be the size of my fillets. I don't know that I'll ever make it again, but it was all eaten. I took the advice of the other raters and used lime juice only. I would suggest patting the fish dry and letting the only liquid be the lime juice when baking it.
     
  2. This was very very bitter. I don't know why, but I have a feeling it has to do with the lime. I usually love lime, but this was not good.
     
  3. My other half and I really liked this recipe. I did use fresh onions and used plaice. The lime was fine, despite the other person's comment. I recommend this to people that enjoy eating fish as much as we do.
     
  4. Leaving the rind on the lime ruined this. It was so bitter that my DH and I couldn't even finish eating it. I hated wasting good fish like that. I don't this would be bad if the lime juice only was used or even if the limes were peeled first then sliced.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
