I used tilapia. The bottom of my breading stuck to the pan so next time I'll cook on parchment. Very tasty.

This dish is absolutely delicious! I had a hard time finding the garam masala and had to order it online but I'm so glad I did. The cook time was absolutely perfect which of course is incredibly important with fish (I usuually don't get that part right!). I know I will be making this dish for years to come; thanks for posting this winner!

Excellent -- even my non-fish eater loved this fish! I changed the recipe slightly by using catfish (about 1 pound), skipping the garam masala but using the chili powder and using a sprinkling of instant onions and I forgot the oil. Cooked in 350-degree oven for 30 minutes -- perfect timing by the way and served with a tossed salad for a very good and satisfying dinner. Thanks for sharing!

This was fantastic! I heard that breading with coconut is the latest craze so I googled and found your recipe. I just threw all the ingredients in a food processor and patted them on the fish. I left the fish in the oven for about 10 minutes longer to get more of a crust. This is definitely a keeper that I will be making for a long time to come. Thank you!

This is an outstanding fish recipe! I used recipe #424976 for the garam masala, and orange roughy for the fish. I used a little more chili pepper than called for. The cook time was just perfect for this. I only pressed the crust on the top of the fish so I had no problem with sticking. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
