Great fast,healthy and tasty recipe. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. As someone else mentioned, after putting the almonds on top of the fish, I put the whole thing in the oven for a while to crisp things up and cook the fish a little more.

Great easy dinner. Love the almonds that pick up the lemon flavor. Will use this with other kind of fish also. Thanks so much for posting.

The best fish I have had in a long time. Quick, easy and very low fat.... Even my picky 14 year old said he would have had two pieces if he hadn't eaten two servings of "blue box". I will make this at least once every two weeks.

Yummy...the whole family loved it. This is really an easy recipe.I used ground croutons (didn't have any bread crumbs) and used Lemon Pepper as well as the other dry ingredients. Wonderful!

I'm not a big fish fan, but this recipe was simple to prepare and tasted quite good.
