Almond-Topped Fish

Name: Almond-Topped Fish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter; 1 small onion, thinly sliced; 4 cod or haddock fillets (6 ounces each); 1 teaspoon seasoned salt; 1/2 teaspoon dill weed; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

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. Once you've tried this tender fish, you'll never go back to fried. —Heidi Kirsch, Waterloo, Iowa

We did not particularly care for this dish. The only changes I made (other than halving the recipe to serve two) were to substitute mozzarella for the Parmesan and a large shallot for the onion. I may try making it again and reducing the cooking time. But our dissatisfaction went beyond the fish’s being slightly overcooked, so maybe not.

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.
