This was bomb! My husband finished his plate almost before I could ask if he liked it.
This fish could definitely stand on its own but the lemon dill sauce really complements the Cajun seasoning.
Hubby isn’t such a fan of lemon but liked the sauce the way I made it.
TIPS:
Make this recipe with Tilapia… Just choose 4 (4 oz) filets and bake at 350◦ for about 20 mins.
Make this recipe with Orange Roughy… Just choose 2 (7 oz) filets and bake, covered with aluminum foil, at 400◦ for about 23 mins.
NOTE: You can use regular mayo instead vegan spread. I just don’t like mayo…
