"A co-worker gave me this recipe, but I didn't try it until recently. What a mistake it was to wait! It's easier than dipping, coating and frying...and the flavor is outstanding," notes Heidi Kirsch of Waterloo, Iowa. "Once you've tried this tender fish, you'll never go back to fried."

This recipe is fantastic! I doubled the recipe and only increased the almonds. It was simple and DELICIOUS. My husband and I devoured it. Served it on top of brown and wild rice, asparagus and a spinach salad. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is sooooo good. It is also easy to make. It has a "good" resataurant mix of flavors, but not the cost. I used Tilapia.

This was excellent! I followed someone's suggestion and used basil instead of parsley. I will definitely make this again.
