We had this tonight and made as directed except we used a bit of old bay and white pepper. I didn't have onion powder so I left that out. I used San Joaquin Gold cheese which add a lot of flavor. We loved this and the kids ate without question. Thanks

This was a good recipe, and we enjoyed it, but we thought it was missing some flavor, I did make the recipe as written with no leftovers too. Thanks for sharing this with us. Made for Zaar Stars.

This was good thanks Deb. I had quite a few small fillets of a snapper-like fish we caught ourselves, so the tiny bit of mix I made for 2 servings had to spread a long way. It was more like a seasoned butter over the fish. I was concerned about over cooking the little things, so it isn't as brown as you might have expected. Nevermind, it didn't overpower the delicate fish and tasted good. I used onion salt and celery seed as that's what I had on hand.

This was so tasty. I followed the recipe exactly as directed with beautiful results. I was a bit concerned at how it would look as the parmesan mixture melts as you coat the fish with it, but it looks as beautiful as it tastes. thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. I have added this one to my favorites.

Delicious and quick way to make fish -- I cut this recipe down to serve 4 and skipped the celery salt and onion powder subbing in onion salt -- also used light mayo. Thanks for sharing!
