This is a new recipe. Overall I liked it a lot. I didn't grate the orange peel, but I think you should. I chopped the peel into small strips and they were still too big. I also added a pinch of Paula Deen's House Seasoning (See below) when cooking the fish, but I don't really think it needed it. The recipe recommended to be paired with green beans and red potatoes. I think rice would be a better combination. But overall it was all really yummy. I retrieved this recipe from Saving Dinner and modified it slightly.


Paula Deen's House Seasoning
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper
  • 1/4 cup garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup onion powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
