Reviews
I used red snapper which has a very delicate flavor. The picante sauce was fairly mild to suit our taste and it did not over-power the light flavor of the fish. The cooking instructions were spot on However, I was unclear as to whether to remove the skin of not. As it was scaled, I decided to leave the skin on which turned out to be no problem.
I used salsa instead of picante sauce. Delicious!!! Easy clean up.
Made this with ocean perch, which I do not like very much, but it is what I had. I liked the flavors in this recipe, following it to the letter, except I had to substitute hot sauce for picante sauce. Paired with pearl couscous and wheat rolls. Went very well, and I will try again with a fish I like more.
This was pretty good!! I baked it with some cut up green peppers and onions and had some left over shrinp I through in!! Very easy and pretty tasty…
Yum! Excellent as written. Hubby is a fan. Easy and delish. I used Pace chunky mild picante sauce
I would give the recipe more stars if it weren’t for the cooking time. I chose to make this recipe because it looked quick. I ended up having to keep my fish in for almost 35 minutes before it was done. It tasted great, but I wish that it didn’t take so long. Instead of butter I added coconut oil and fresh lime juice on top. Lovely.
fast and delicious!
Good flavor, but cooking time is a bit too short.
We used the Mexican Tajin seasoning instead of the hot sauce and lime (because I didn’t have them). Also added slivers of zucchini, which my daughters liked more than the fish!
We used fresh garlic and salsa instead of picante over perch. Flavor was mild; not overly impressed, but good.
I’ve been making something llike this for years. The only difference is I use fresh pico instead of picante sauce. Its really good.
I used this with Red Snapper. I will decrease the garlic powder next time. I used Rotelle tomato with peppers instead of picante and it added just the right bite!
Even my daughter who doesn’t like fish liked this one!
Very easy and yummy! My entire family uses this recipe for fish tacos. Delicious!
Two Thumbs up! I loved it because it was simple, quick and had a lot of flavor without the calories. I used salsa and hot sauce for an extra kick. Will definately be making again!!!!
This was good. It wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad, it was just a good meal. We enjoyed it with some brown rice tonight. Thanks for the good, light, low-cal recipe!
This was a wonderful recipe but a little to slimy for my tastes. I think I’ll try marinating the fish then grilling it.
I used Orange Roughy as the store did not have Red Snapper, but folloed rest of recipe to a T. Was very good, will be making again, maybe with other fish.
I used roughy and fresh salsa. This was so yummy and easy to prepare. Thank you for posting.
Yeah, just didn’t do it for me. bland. To keep it light, maybe fresh herbs next time. (cilantro? to keep with the theme)My husband liked it more than I did.
This is a great dish. I would probably only give it 4 stars for the flavor which was good, but not incredible. However, because of the simplicity of preparation, I have to give it 5! My husband isn’t that in to healthy foods, but he really liked the fish.
