Very tasty, but 2 cups of oats was waaaay to much for me. I had a ton of the mix left over after thoroughly coating five fillets. Next time I’ll probably cut the oat mixture in half.

This was very easy, very tasty and quick and healthy! Everything I need I only used about 1/3 cup of oatmeal, added panko bread crumbs and seasoned the fish prior to adding mayo. The whole family loved this healthy meal. And I used polluck, since I don’t eat farmed fish. Thanks for the recipe!

Lemon Mayo. Who knew? This is a perfect light dinner for my boyfriend and I with our busy week day schedule. I served it over whole wheat spaghetti with a broccoli slaw. It smelled spectacular in the oven, and tasted amazing. The oatmeal was an excellent crust for fish, not too heavy or overwhelming.

I halved the recipe, but still ended up wasting a lot of my dry topping (oatmeal, parm, bread crumbs, etc.) I would probably use only 1/4 of the topping next time for 2 medium-sized filets.

This was fantastic! I used cod because that’s what looked freshest that day at the store and reduced the oatmeal a bit. We’ll be making this again soon.

Incredibly easy and extremely delicious recipe. I used cod just because it was what was fresh that day. I loved the texture the topping added without overpowering the delicate fish. I did reduce the oatmeal based on other comments and I used Panko breadcrumbs rather than just regular. I thought it worked well. I paired it with Ree’s Baked Lemon Pasta which was a heavenly combination. Definitely impressive enough for dinner guests but affordable and easy enough for the family during the week. This is a new “go to recipe” at my house and I will be serving it the next time we have guests over too!

We have had this twice now and LOVE it! Who knew that oatmeal would work with fish? The only issue I had was the amount of oatmeal it calls for. The first time I used the 2 cups and it was way too much. Second time, I halved it and it was still a little too much, but I saved the extra for next time. I don’t know if my filets are cut too thin or small, but it was about a pound, or 4-5 filets. Over all, we love it and will keep it in our recipe rotation. Thanks, Jessica!

We loved the flavor of this recipe but thought it needed a little bit more moisture.

Excellent! We were out of mayo so I did have to use your suggestion of sour cream, and it was a great dish. I felt so healthy with the oatmeal crust, and eating it over whole wheat pasta! Definitely an “add”!

I think I am going to try this tonight over pasta and a creamy, lemon-wine sauce I like to make!

Dude! Delicious and easy. My 21 mo. old daughter consumed almost all of a filet and skipped her fried potatoes to do it! Came out perfectly flakey, the topping stayed attached to the fish. I really liked this kind of non-standard crust. Really good. Adding it to the “standards” binder immediately!
