    Super easy to make, and really good. I would have given it 4.5 if I could have. The parmesan was a little bit strong for my taste, but it was one of the easiest dinners I've made in a while. I served mine with rice and mixed veggies, and it was a really elegant dinner made in about 20 minutes. - 4/5/09

    I love this recipe it's really good and the Parmesan really brings taste to the fish! Usually fish is so tasteless even with spices but this recipe was so good! I saw that the cook time on it was 15 minutes though. I cooked mine for about 20 on broil.
    It flaked really well and was yummy!

    This recipe was super easy to put together, but I couldn't figure out how long to cook the fish. It took me about 30 minutes in total at 350 for the fish to cook; it would've been nice to have a cooking time and temperature to go on. - 4/9/13
