very good! I used an egg rather than substitute and added a bit a bread crumbs to the parmesan - yum!

Fantastic! I used 1 egg instead of egg substitute and we loved this recipe! I cannot wait to make it again!

Very tasty! I didn't have the egg substitute so used real egg instead and it came out fine. Definitely a keeper in my recipe box.

Excellent. I am not overly fond of fish and am always on the lookout for good fish recipes because I know I need to eat it. This is a keeper.

This was okay to eat once and not think of preparing again. Sorry I thought it was bland. The heavy pepper really didn't make or break this recipe, the overall flavor was not pleasant.

Absolutely delicious, and so easy to make. One of our new favorites.

I was going out to dinner and I wanted to make my family dinner. The dish is extremely easy to make, it smelled delicious and most important my husband said it was out of this world. My children even liked (which isn't always easy to please) I would definitely make this over again. Thanks for the great recipe.

Way too much pepper! Even my husband who likes "spicy" food said this was too much.

This dish was so easy - perfect for a Monday night, get home late, have nothing planned dinner!!! I omitted the red pepper flakes and added some crushed Toasteds wheat crackers. YUM! My 14-year old and I both loved it!!!
