I made it exactly as written. It was excellent and will make it again. Thank you for sharing this one. I like making cod in the microwave as I don't have to add oil or butter to it.

This was easy and delicious - made it with Tilapia and it was great! As suggested by one of the reviewers, I made some additional sauce and used it on the rice.

Absolutely delicious. I've also made just the sauce and served it on rice. Yummy.

This is a very simple way to prepare fish. The tomato, onion sauce really makes the fish, without it the fish could get dry in the microwave. Made for ZWT5

This is a wonderful way to prepare fish and so fast. I started with a frozen fillet, cooked it 1 minute, turned and cooked for an additional minute. The topping ingredients were added the fillet was done in 5 minutes. It was served with leftover recipe #213719 that were warmed for a few minutes in the microwave.
