This is a big favorite in my family. Super easy to make and absolutely delicious! ENJOY :)

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 Lb. White Fish Fillets, boned-flounder and tilapia are our favorite to use in this recipe.
  • 1/3 Cup Jarred Salad Dressing (such as Miracle Whip...but any brand will do. You may also use regular Mayonnaise if you prefer the taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp minced or crushed garlic-your choice. You may used jarred but we prefer fresh garlic.
  • 2 Cups coating- your choice: crushed crackers of your choice-we prefer Ritz, but sesame crackers and saltines work great as well. You may also used seasoned bread crumbs.
  • 1 TBSP Grated Parmesan Cheese
Step1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Step2
Mix coating with cheese and set aside
Step3
Mix Salad Dressing/Mayo, garlic and spices
Brush this mixture on both sides of fish.
Step4
Dip fish in coating of crumbs and cheese, on both sides.
Step5
Spray 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray. Please fish in pan.
Step6
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until fish is white and flakes to the touch.

Tips & Warnings

  • May use more or less of each spice
  • May add a dash of hot sauce to salad dressing mixture if you want it a bit spicier
  • Fat free dressing/mayo works great in this recipe to keep it very low in calories.
  • Serve with a crispy green salad and fresh vegetable to make this meal complete. I usually serve it with steamed broccoli tossed with fresh lemon juice ... but any vegetable is great.
  • Have extra fish on hand. Even 'non fish lovers' will enjoy this because of it's wonderful flavor!
