I varied this slightly. My husband is diabetic and on a weight loss program so I omitted the cheese and followed the suggestion of another reviewer and used fresh spinach sauteed with onions. Also, I used Orange Roughy, dipped in milk and breaded in Italian bread crumbs with crushed toasted slivered almonds. Made the sauce according to recipe and my husband and I loved it. My husband is the better chef and he thought it was "extremely good". thanks for the suggestions.

There's something about fish and cheese that says high school cafeteria, but I gave it a try with swiss. I used fresh baby spinach in place of the frozen spinach and used rockfish from my freezer. I thought the sauce was especially good, and it was terrific with the spinach. I'm still not sure I loved the sauce with the fish. However, the sauce would be great for masking the taste of a less palatable fish.

Followed recipe except I used walleye. Sauce is to thick and it lacked flavor. I hate to see food go to waste so I layered cooked brown rice in a casserole dish, put the leftovers on top. I sprinkled some Old Bay, Seasoned Salt,Onion Powder,dried oregano & cornflake crumbs. Better, but not wonderful.

The original recipe calls for too much salt and lemon juice. Together it causes the dish to be way too salty.

I just didn't like the flavor of this--I don't know if it was the nutmeg or what. After eating this myself, I have a hard time imagining kids enjoying it!

This was an easy, quick, and very tasty recipe. The cheese sauce does come out very thick, so add more milk if you want a thinner sauce.

I didn't really like the spinach combination with this fish. Cheese topping was okay, but was more like a paste rather than a sauce. My husband thought it was alright, but I probably won't make this again. Thanks for the share, though!
