Very easy to fix - I managed to get my fourteen year old to fix this with no major disaster in the kitchen. And my children, who normally turn their nose up at any kind of fish, ate it all and asked for seconds. My wife is on a gluten free diet and I substituted bread crumbs from a gluten free loaf. She was happy and the kids never knew the difference.

Really delicious: the fish came out tender and tasty. And I'm usually hopeless with fish! Thanks for the recipe!

I enjoyed the flavor of this fish. I used tilapia and adjusted the cooking time accordingly. I used Panko bread crumbs so the fish was very crunchy.
