I like many of the other reviewers did not roll up my fish filet, however I don't think it mattered as the fish was cooked perfectly, moist tender and flavorful. I used one tilapia filet and fresh baby spinach as it was just my DH and me. The combination of flavors was amazing! And it was thoroughly enjoyed!! Made for Help a Naked Recipe!

This is a keeper! I made it with sole fillets and had different sizes which wouldn't make good rolls. So I put a layer of fillets down in a casserole dish, then the topping, then another layer of fillets. It was ready after 22 minutes in the oven. Everybody loved it, even my teens.

This was very good, prepared as directed except also had to scoop topping over instead of roll up due to size of fillets. Husband and I will make again, but would add some lemon for acidity or red pepper flakes for heat. Thank you for posting Miles closer to a cure: http://pages.teamintraining.org/va/rnrh10/lselby

I've used this on flounder, catfish, and salmon and it always is a hit with the family. it's diet friendly and re-heats well for lunch the next day.
