Reviews
This was great on cod! Use fresh in-store salsa and not the jarred kind. Salsa contained fresh cilantro that made the fish. We loved this. But would not have like with jarred salsa. A definite make again!
Very tasty. left out the cheese, but used everything else.
I pulled this recipe on a card out of my recipe box and it was dated June 2004 all recipes.com. I have made this recipe so many times that my printing on the card was pretty much worn away. So went to the website and found it near the top of the page. Great to see it is loved by so many! we will be enjoying again tonight, delicious and easy!
I am on a quest to make Cod more palatable so was excited about trying this recipe. I made 4 fillets, 3 as called for in the recipe, and 1 with just the salsa and cheese. They were each good, however, I really liked the one without the tortilla crusting, as the cheese flavoring was able to stand out. I will make this again, but will be skipping the tortilla chips. Thank you for the recipe, Christyj!
I really didn’t know what to think due to the ingredient list. I have this a try and really really enjoyed this. I did add more salsa, cheese and cook it for 25 minutes to create a crispy cheese top. I will make this again!
This fish was delicious! I used haddock loins for the fish. I didn’t have any avocado, so I used the Wholly Guacamole that I had in the fridge. The fish was tender and the guac made the flavours pop even more. Definite keeper.
YUM!! I absolutely love this dish and have been making this for years! The only thing I leave out is the avocado. Other than that, it’s perfect! We also make this using chicken and it’s equally delish!
I eat Keto so I used Pork Panko instead of other breading. I also used soy cheddar shreds and soy sour cream. I don’t eat dairy or garbage grain. Everything was organic and wild caught. It was great!
This recipe really surprised me. I tried it because it looked very easy and had good reviews, but I wasn’t expecting much. It’s really very delicious and perfect for a family meal. Parents and kids loved it!
So good and so easy! I served this over wild rice, black beans and salsa – topped with avocado and lime juice.
Made with chayote.
I followed the recipe exactly and served it with rice. But I have to say, it was kinda weird. It didn’t taste bad per say, but the fish and the salsa and cheese didn’t mix well. I could taste all of the ingredients but separately and they didn’t blend well together. I think chicken would be much better. I will try that next time.
Excellent, easy recipe! I put it all in a glass baking dish that fit in my air fryer. Cooked at 370 degrees for 15 minutes. Corn flakes made it very crispy on top. Fish was hot and flaky. Others said to mix cheddar with pepper jack. I may try that next time, and there will be a next time.
Ridiculously easy & super delicious. I served it with tricolor quinoa & a corn/ bell pepper/ black bean casserole. Everyone loved it. Will make it a “taco Tuesday” staple.
this was really good and very easy. i rarely make fish other than salmon b/c i am not really sure how to cook it. i got a pretty nice piece of cod from my local grocery store and followed directions, cooking a bit longer to complete. my son loved it and so did i. will make again for sure.
Very easy and I will definitely make it again!
I assembled this ahead of time in the morning and it worked out great (shockingly the Fritos didn’t end up soggy)! I rinsed and blotted fresh cod until very dry. I later baked it for 30 minutes, broiled for a few more, and served it as fish tacos, inside hard shells with lettuce, tomato and plain Greek yogurt (which I sub for sour cream). My 5-year-old also loved it!
Recipe is a bit bland, but I did use cod.
This was awesome! I used salsa that was hot. Didn’t even need the avocado or sour cream. I served with black beans that I added jalapenos and cayenne pepper to. Thank you!!
Made this tonight and it was delish! I used wild caught cod placed on a thin bed of medium salsa after adding salt and pepper. More salsa spooned atop each piece of fish. Shredded Monterey Jack cheese sprinkled across the top of the dish. Omitted the avocado and corn chips because I didn’t have them. Covered the baking dish with foil and baked at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Removed foil for 5 minutes before end time. Dish is done when cheese has melted and fish flakes easily with a fork and when sauce is bubbly. The sauce was very tasty on rice or couscous. A great and easy dish! NOTE: There is little to no “fishy” taste or smell after it is cooked. Thank you for posting! Judi David
