    Lots of flavour and not too heavy, great for a quick midweek healthy meal. Will definitely cook this again.

    I cooked this dish last night, but using chicken instead of fish due to the fish counter at Sainsburys breaking down!! Obviously it took longer to cook, but once I had cooked, turned, crumbled and cooked for another few minutes, I put the whole thing in the oven and cooked for a further 15 minutes. Served with new potatos and spinach & curly kale in garlic butter, was a fab dish and will make it again.

    This was delicious! I am not a great lover of fish but try to eat it at least once a week, this recipe made it a pleasure instead of a chore.

    Made a reciie similar to this, using half this recipie and half another recipie! In the crumb topping i used 60g low fat butter, paxo breadcrumbs (didnt have any fresh) parsley chopped and coriander chopped, lemon zest of half a lemon and a squeeze of lemon. Mixed together layered on fish, pushed down with the back of a spoon and baked in the over for 25 mins. Then in a pan made a butter lemon and garlic sauce. Served it with broccoli and new potartoes. Lovely!! Will be making again this week.

    Lots of flavour, easy and quick to make. I used dried mixed herbs in place of the parsley. Next time I will use a bit more parmesan (perhaps 10g more than the recipe recommends) and less lemon juice in the pan. I served it with oven roasted cherry tomatoes, jacket potato, peas and sweetcorn. My husband thoroughly enjoyed this and he is not a fish fan at all! I will definitely put this on my list of regular recipes.

    I also tried it with salmon. It was delicious. The colour contrast made it very appealing.

    really nice and really tasty lemon flavour...though when I put it under the grill, it started to flame, so i just cooked it on the hob throughout and still came out lovely!

    I made this in the oven instead of pan frying. The first time with fresh boneless & skinless cod loins and it took about 30 mins as I literally put the fish, dotted with butter and lemon juice, covered with the breadcrumb mix and whacked it in the oven! I didnt cover with foil though so the breadcrumbs were a bit too crispy. The second time I made it using frozen cod loin fillets, I let the fish cook in the oven for about 10-15 under foil dotted with butter and lemon juice, then took the foil off and covered the fish with the breadcrumb mix and cooked for about another 10-15 minutes until the breadcrumbs had started to brown and it was delicious - also meant that I could get on and cook the veg to go with it.

    Really enjoyed eating this, did it with Cod fillet and tasted lovely, will try as suggested with Monkfish. Also used Olivio rather than butter and that was quite satisfactory. Did however leave a good quantity of the skin off my left hand on the handle of the frying pan after browning the breadcrumbs under the grill ....... do be more carefull than me!!!

    I was in Australia at the time so used Flake.This is recipe is delicious!It can really highlight the flavour of cheaper and less popular white fish, so good on the appetite and the purse. This has become a firm favourite.

    I love fish, but my family aren't very keen on many types of fish and don't eat enough fish per week as they should. I decided to make this recipe, and used Coley as it is similar to Cod or Haddock but much cheaper, much less bones and I thought it was much more friendly to the environment as everyone has been talking about the scarcity of Cod lately. Was a really nice dish, very lemony, very buttery and extremely tasty. I put it with home-made chips and a minted pea and broad bean salad. Was delicious and even my family want me to make it again! Definitely only a summer dish though, as too fresh and not filling enough for the winter months!
