  1. Easy and very tasty! Will definitely make this one again.
     
  2. We loved the thyme and basil combination on this fish. And it was a lot like fried without frying it. The breading is very good. Very easy and quick to make. I'll definitely make this again.
     
  3. This was delicous! Because I didn't have two of the specified ingredients, I substituted garlic powder in place of fresh garlic, and Old Bay Seasoning instead of cajun seasoning. My husband thought it was still fabulous. I shall make this recipe again.
     
  4. This recipe ROCKS!!! I let the fish sit in the milk and garlic for quite a while, and I used a bit more creole seasoning in the two pieces that my bf and I ate hehe.. but the family loved this.. Thanks for suggesting it.. its definitely a recipe I'll hold on to :-) everyone loved it!!! The lemon pepper really adds some wonderful flavor to the fish. Oh, By the way, you didnt mention when to add the paprika, so I just put it in with all of the other seasonings!! Thanks for a great recipe!!!!
     
  5. For taste, appearance, presentation, and ease of preparation, I give this recipe five stars. My only complaint was that it did not reheat well in the microwave. No biggie to me. If you substitute the 2% milk for skim milk and use a total of 16 oz of tilapia, each serving of fish is 3 ww points. Very yummy! Thanks so much!

  1. Great recipe! I had to make a few substitutions because I didn't have some of the ingredients. Instead of milk, I used 2 eggs. I didn't have cornmeal, so I used plain breadcrumbs (although I can't wait to have this with cornmeal) and because I didn't have it, I left out the lemon pepper. I combined all the dry seasonings, using Old Bay, in a large ziplock bag. I find the fish gets coated better and clean up is easier. Even with the substitutions, this recipe was delicious. I can't wait to try it again next time.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
