A wonderful variation on the traditional recipe is this cream cheese frosting with honey and brown sugar. It’s what we use to frost cocktail cakes. Try it on cakes made with applesauce, spices, bananas, or carrots.

Reviews
Made it in the air fryer instead. Loved it!
Great recipe. Simple and easy Taste great!
I thought it was great! I used it on walleye but I would definitely try it on other fish. Easy and quick.
This was very good. I used Panko crumbs and didn’t have mashed potato flakes, so I increased the Panko crumbs. It turned out very good. My husband thought I had used butter in it. Will make again. Will try it with the potato flakes.
OMG So delicious!!!!
Good recipe,omitted the water, its not needed for the eggs. Also omitted the salt, parm is salty enough. For the seasoning I used onion and garlic powder with dried parsley flakes.
This was great! My husband and I love fish and I am always looking for news ways to prepare it. I omitted the seasoning salt for health reasons and used panko bread crumbs in place of instant potatoes which I did not have. Followed the rest of the recipe as is. Definitely will make this again.
Very helpful recipe! I have never made walleye before but, we caught some walleye on the lake this past weekend so, I used this recipe for guidance. I personally like to use plenty of seasonings and giving it my own zest. I included 1 tablespoon lemon pepper, onion powder, and dried minced onion flakes into the dry mix. I also lightly sprinkled some lemon pepper and parsley on top of the fillets. They turned out perfectly and we didn’t even need tartar.
Simple simple recipe and so delicious. It’s a keeper!
We followed the directions exactly and it turned out just as it’s pictured. It tasted great. We served it with pan fried asparagus.
I made this tonight with cod fillets, and it was very tasty! I didn’t have any potato flakes, so I just used panko crumbs and the parmesan. Instead of seasoned salt (which can have MSG), I added a 1/2 teaspoon Paul Prudhomme’s Seafood Magic to the breadcrumb mixture. In future, I might add a touch more on top of the fish, but it was very good. Easy to make and a short bake time!
I love Walleye, but don’t get it much here in GA, so when the fish vendor at the local Farmer’s Market got some, I jumped on it and made it for my son for the first time. My only regret is not making my dad’s tartar sauce to go with it, but this was perfect even without it. I didn’t have any parmeson, so used a bit of feta, it turned out great!
Tasty and crispy!
This should do well in the air fryers in the correct proportions. There is only 2 of us, so it may work well, spraying the fillets with oil and adding a bit of garlic asiago cheese instead of Parmesan and maybe a bit of ? fresh ground pepper and salt. I’ll let you know how it turns out?
We thought it was way too dry. I wouldn’t make this recipe again.
Out of bread crumbs, but I had some All Bran cereal that was a good substitute. Pulsed that, the potato flakes, parmesan and 4 Brazil nuts in my blender and that worked well, but maybe not as crunchy as with bread crumbs. Used “Spike” for the seasoned salt. That being said, for 4 4oz pieces of fish, could probably use half the listed amounts and 1 egg + 1.5 tsp water for the dredging and have less waste. I had to cook 25 minutes (and could have been a few more) to finish the thickest parts of the filets I had, but taste was good. Pretty easy. I will likely try this again.
My husband thinks Walleye is the best fresh water fish and typically he fries it. I stumbled across this recipe and had to talk him into trying it. After dinner, he said this is hands down the best way to cook Walleye. I made only three changes to the recipe (I know most people hate hearing that their recipe was changed). Instead of greasing a baking sheet, I put the fish on Parchment paper. So cleaning up was easy. Since potato flakes are not a staple in my house, I omitted them. Lastly, I used Italian flavored Panko crumbs and omitted the season salt. The fish was cooked perfectly and the outer crust was crunchy like fried fish without being greasy. This recipe is not only a “keeper” but I plan on sharing it with my husband fishing buddies.
WOW!! Everyone LOVED this recipe!! So glad not to fry it! I substituted with GF panko and tapioca for potatoe flakes. It was gone in seconds so no picture!
I loved this recipe as is! I used Tilapia. Husband loved it. And it is easy.
Took advice from Annie’s kitchen and double dipped as well as placing in fridge for 1/2 hour before baking. Wonderful taste and so easy to prep!
I followed the recipe as it appears here with one change; I used Panko breading instead of dried regular bread crumbs. Wonderful taste, easy prep and cooking. Everyone LOVED IT !!! I’m an iffy fan of fish, or I was until now. I love this recipe.!!! I’m making it again tonight. EXCELLENT RECIPE ! Thanks
