Mexican baked fish

A baked fish dish. You get to choose the heat. Use mild salsa for a little heat and extra hot salsa for lots of heat! Serve with rice, black beans, warm tortillas and lime Margaritas for a festive meal!"

Loved these! I used coleslaw mixture of veggies in place of red cabbage - otherwise the same. Will make again! :) - 10/14/11

Using coleslaw mix is smart! :)

I used cod instead of tilapia (just because it was on sale) and it was delicious. I would cut down a little on the lime juice the next time I make it. Very light yet filling. Will definitely make this again. - 10/24/11

These are GREAT! I am far from being a fish lover, but this was a fantastic recipe. The only thing I did differently is I used Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream and combined the cilantro and lime juice with it. - 9/30/10
