Delicious!!
I made this with a side of boiled broccoli and Jasmine rice.
I added butter to both and lemon juice to the rice 🙂
Everybody is stuffing their faces!
This recipe is so good and so easy. The sauce comes together in minutes and the end result tastes like heaven. I paired my fish with wild rice and veggies (1x green (broccoli, asparagus, brussell sprouts) 1x sweet). YUMM
Richel I like your recepis but I would like to see in ” metric ” as WELL, PLEASE
THANKS, Sophie
I had it with roasted cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and red onions. It was delicious
Really delicious and simple! I didn’t use all of it because I didn’t want to overpower the fresh fish. Glad I cut back because the dish was great!
This was very tasty … and quick after an 10+ hour day. Just didn’t like texture of the topping mixture. Next time I may eliminate the flour. Salt and peppered fish lightly. Also used spicy brown mustard. I cooked it on a bed of asparagus.
Best recipe! My family of 5 all love it!
My husband and I really didn’t like this. Butter was way too much and overpowered the dish, topping was weird consistency and just overall not a favorite. I hate leaving a bad review but we took a few bites and had to throw it out.
This recipe is definitely one of mine and my husband’s favourites. It’s so delicious it is a monthly staple in our house.
Thank you 🙂
Can you really taste the mustard?
What an amazing, tasty and simple recipe! Thank you so much!
Best topping ever for Cod?
Excellent option for cod. Really enjoyed it.
Best recipe ever! I boiled small potatoes until almost done and put them in with the fish, covering them with mixture. Delicious!
Delicious! We loved this recipe I enjoy lemon so added some zest in addition to the lemon juice. Yum!
Really delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Very good. I like another review. Too salty. Cut the salt. I gave 4 stars. Otherwise I would have given 5
