Maine-iac, this is a great recipe and so very simple to do! I prepared this for supper Saturday night and my husband kept remarking how moist and flavorful his fish was and HE gave it 5 stars! I used a beautiful 1 1/2 lb. piece of cod and was generous with the seasonings. I was surprised just how well the mayonnaise worked at keeping the fish moist! We eat seafood alot and I know this recipe will be used often. This recipe is a keeper, Maine-iac, and is going into my State of the "Art" seafood collection! -
This is very good fish ! I used halibut filets. The fresh dill is abundant in my garden and I used a lot of it! The mayonaise made it moist, and I added a few onion slices for more flavor. Very Good!! Thanks for the recipe, Maine-iac! -
Wow!! What a deal. I used halibut fillets. The dill and Old Bay combined really knocked our socks off. The fillets turned our so tender and moist. Thanks Maine-iac, my family and I so enjoyed these. We salute you!!!

This turned out so well. I used cod fillets. You are so right. The mayonnaise does contribute to the moistness of the fish. The lemon and Old Bay seasoning just make it lip-smackin' good. I am trying to add more fish into our diet and this is a great recipe that will show up on our table often. The whole family loved it. Thanks :D Only wish I could get real fresh fish from Maine!! -
This recipe was great and I used Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. Since I consider this Mayo and it gave the fish a sweet taste and the Old Bay seasoning gave it the spicy taste. Really a good recipe.

I used Swai filets, and as I had no Old Bay (and despise cloves) I simply used a few pinches of mace, 4 bay leaves crushed as fine as I could get them, celery salt, a lot of dill, salt and pepper, and a low-soduim seasoning mix instead. 30 minutes later I had a delicious plate of steaming fish! Trying to finally get weight off and this recipe will be a popular staple thanks to its nutritional value. I recommend green beans sauted in a smidge of butter and olive oil and garlic, or some steamed veggies to compliment this light and tasty dish! Thanks for sharing! -
Very good. I used cajun seasoning instead of Old Bay and then Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. I was generous with the dill and cajun seasoning. I served with Betty Crocker sea salt and cracked pepper potatoes and a corn steamer. Thanks for posting!
