This is truly a hit with kids and adults alike. I still get calls for the recipe from the church congregation I cooked for.

This was really tasty. I've been pushing the family to eat more fish and I've been looking for healthier ways to prepare it. We used fat-free cheese and dried spices and also added a teaspoon of chopped garlic and this was GREAT! It also seemed like it was done cooking before I had even finished cleaning up from prepping the meal. My son is really picky about fish and he asked if I could make this again. I think we have a winner!

This is an easy and very tasty recipe! It took me approx. 25 to make from start to plating and it took my wife 10 minutes to finish it! Thanks!! -
Yummy! This is a nice spring dinner. It's quick and easy, which is just what I was looking for. I used 5 tomatoes, which was too much. Next time I will cut it down to 3. Good stuff!
