We had fish dish today. And for lunch it was quick and easy and very very tasty. We will be having it again!
Great
This is the ONLY cod recipe I make anymore, the sauce has so much flavor and the whole dish is absolutely delicious. I’ve made this exact recipe well over 10 times!
Fast, easy, and really really good!
I put mango-cilantro sauce and came out very tasty. I didn’t put lemon juice. It’s a keeper
Fish was amazing but I felt the topping was a little overpowering. My husband loved the topping. I plan on making again but I will top my fish with a little less topping. Maybe melt the butter too. I served with creamy mushrooms.
This will become my favorite way to bake cod. It was delicious and the recipe was very easy to follow. I think it will be a good way to bake halibut.
Easy & delicious, as advertised! Suggest adding lemon zest along with juice to the topping.
Just finished eating this delicious meal I made for the first time. Tasted good even though I had only an orange at home. I’ll for sure, will make it again.
My mom & I loved the dish!! Using a whole lemon in the baking process made it extra yummy. We paired it with olive bread from Jane the Bakery & we dipped to bread in the yummy lemon butter sauce. Also had Brussel sprouts, wonderful pairing…here is recipe https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1890-roasted-brussels-sprouts-with-garlic
