    BEWARE! This recipe has more fat and calories than reported! Recipe says "butter" and "mayonnaise" in the ingredients, but the ingredient detail lists margarine and light miracle whip to calculate the nutrition. That increases calories to about 210 per serving, plus more fat I didn't calculate. - 7/16/09

    I just made this dish for myself and my parents and it was such a huge hit! I put the fish on top of fresh spinach (which I sprinkled with some of the parm cheese, squeezed some fresh lemon juice on it and garnished with a lemon wheel)and it looked just as delicious as it tasted! Great summer dish! - 8/2/08

    I made this for the 2nd time and decised to use Brummel and Brown and fat free mayo to cut the fat. It tasted wonderful. My 7 year old had my husband had 2 helpings because they liked it so much!! - 1/28/09

    Incredible. Didn't have celery salt, so I subbed garlic powder. Highly recommend this even to people who "don't like fish." - 8/3/08

    This was absolutely delicious. My husband and I loved it. I would recommend putting the rack a fairly close to the broiler. I had it a little further away and it took a little longer to cook, otherwise superb. - 7/27/08

    I made this last week and my son and I LOVED it. I don't think I broiled it close enough to the heat though and next time I'll fix that. My husband said it was "OK" but what does he know? It was FABULOUS and I will make it again! - 5/18/09

    Wonderful! I love how quick and easy. I made a few changes, I ran out of parmesan so I used about 1/8 cup mozz and I didn't have celery salt so I used garlic powder instead. Seriously one of the best (and cheapest) dishes I've found!! and Low cal! - 4/10/08

    Great dish. Had to use few short cuts; bottled lemon juice, no basil, added parsley, & sprinke of parsley. Still tasted great. Never was fond of tilapia until this recipe. - 3/2/08

    My daughter (JYBEDOYA) shared this recipe with me and said it was a "flavor explosion!" She was right! It is delicious, easy to make, fast and incredibly low in calories. I'm going to use that topping on flounder next; bet it will be delicious, too... Thank you! - 3/22/07

    Sounds tasty! This is similar to a family favorite of ours. We use Italian bread crumbs with cheese & miraclewhip (no butter) and put it on before cooking, cook until the lightly coated spread disappears, the flavor melts into the fish and keeps it moist. - 5/16/09

    Thanks for tonight's dinner! This sounds great, and can be modified for those of us who are vegetarian and/or Weight Watchers. I'll substitute tofu for fish and use low-fat mayo and a natural margarine to lower the fat per serving. The blend of seasonings and ease of prep are great. - 5/14/09
