I did some experimenting to come up with this recipe. It's quick and easy enough to prepare for the family after coming home from work, and tasty enough for company.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup finely crushed cornflakes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 pounds orange roughy fillets
Lemon wedges

Directions

For tartar sauce, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle relish and mustard in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese and seasonings. Place the milk in a shallow bowl. Dip fillets in milk, then place in bag and shake to coat.
Arrange in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 450° for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon.

Easy to make. The flavors don't compete, they compliment the fish. My whole family loved it, even the picky eater had seconds (unheard of!). I didn't even make the tarter sauce. I figured the recipe had enough flavor without it. I was right. I used Rice Krispees instead of cornflakes due to make it gluten-free.

This is delicious! It is my favorite fish recipe. I don't usually like a lot of fish, and I could eat this several times a week! I usually use tilapia. The cornflakes help the breading be nice and crunchy. Great served with some asparagus or baked butternut squash. Yum!

This is the only way I make fish now. What I like is that it works great with so many fish! I've used it with tilapia, cod, halibut and...of course, orange roughy. I don't fix the tartar sauce as with only 1 using it(I don't like tartar sauces)more economical to simply buy. Great recipe, though.
