Make It

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using another variety of flaky white fish, such as flounder.

Purchasing and Storing Fresh Fish

Look for fresh fish fillets and steaks with a firm texture, moist appearance and fresh mild odor (they should not smell fishy). Whole fish should have bright clear eyes and red to bright pink gills. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator up to 2 days.

My husband hated this :( I was excited about using up my leftover pecans from making the yummy "Turtle Pumpkin Pie" from this site, but I would have been better off just eating them by themselves as a snack.

Very tasty and most ingredients are on hand at home, so easy to make.

This recipe is great - I make it every week because I love it so much. I use walnuts instead of pecans which adds a lot of flavor.

The pecan crust was very yummy and easy. We would definately make the fish again. I would however make a different side dish. The rice/broccoli was pretty bland.

I love this recipe! It was very easy and delicious. I only made one small change. I did not use any additional lemon juice drizzled over the top, and it was perfect! I'll make this again and again!

This recipe was delicious. I'm not very good at cooking fish, but the pecan/parm/lemon juice mixture on top was phenomenal. I would definitely make this again.

Neither my husband or son are big fans of fish, but we are trying to eat healthier. I thought with the pecan and cheese, they would like it, but they are still not big fans of fish. Too bad!!
