This is a gr8 dish... my 3 yr old daughter is a picky eater and this fish was a hit with her too.. she said it tastes just like nuggets... it's definitely a keeper

This was awesome. Even my girls who hate fish ate it. As my kids say "its a keeper"

This was a great dish! I didn't have 5 tilapia fillets so I used 2 tilapia fillets and a mahi-mahi. It was so good! Crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside with the Italian spices and a hint of lemon. I will definitely be making this one again!
