This is really a very tasty dish. I loved the rind in this, I used a whole lemon. One thing I did do differently was I used about 1 tblspn in the pan while it was warming up and threw some crushed garlic to infuse the oil a little bit and I took the garlic out before I out the fish in the pan. I did have a little bit of a problem with the crumbs sticking so I might try using egg whites next time. My 3 yo and 2yo loved this too!

    This recipe was quick & easy to prepare. I used the zest from one whole lemon & I still hardly tasted the lemon.

    Very, very good!! I used "diet" butter and still was delicious. I'm wondering if I could use olive oil rather than veg oil to increase the healthiness of this dish. I had fairly thick, fresh filets so they took a bit longer - about 5 minutes/side. Definitely will be making this one again!

    How can something sooo easy be sooo good? WOWSER. Next time, I think I'll triple the lemon zest...it really adds to the taste. Thanks for posting,aviva.
