It's a simple easy way to fix fish for the first time

"We can't get Tilapia in Australia so used herring and gar. Pan frying I found it was too easy to burn so used oven next attempt. I used olive oil, less red pepper and no salt. Also I used a shaker to add coating for better control and less mess. Tasted great." - beluga2

    Very good! Great taste and very quick. Reduced red pepper to 3/4 tsp based on other reviews but will increase to 1 full tsp next time. Added no salt & used unsalted butter per recipe; was not salty.

    This recipe actually turned out better than I thought it would. A bit on the salty side, but I threw it with a Caesar salad and the family enjoyed it.

    Excellent recipe... I do not add the salt. It isn't needed. I do ad Cajun spice ( personal preference.. Love it!) I make this at least once a week!!! I served with green beans n broiled peppers

    Quick and easy to make. Serve with rice and don't be shy about adjusting spices to fit what you want.

    Loved it. Be careful with the spice depending on how much fish you have.

    Lightly coated fish in beaten egg rather than butter and pan fried in olive oil. Superb!

    This was a bit bland but I just made it as a lunch real quick before work, I didn't have any red peper or onion powder so that's probably why also i used olive oil instead of butter. It's good and I made extra spice so I can do it again Thanks!

    Loved it! We only cooked two filets so we halved the recipe. It worked great. We used frozen tilapia from Sam's which was too thin and, therefore, very "strong". So, if you use small filets you might consider less spice.

    Delicious! 1 tsp of red pepper was plenty for us, though. I baked it for 15 minutes at 350-perfect!

    Tried it tonight. We like spicy so this had a nice lil kick. We pan fried and it came out very juicy. Used olive oil instead of butter and will use a lil less salt next time. Great recipe!
