My family could pretty much eat this Crispy Seasoned Fish every night of the week!

And by saying that my kids would eat fish every night of the week, may get me some eye rolls.

I get it.

Having your kids eat fish can sometimes be a tricky thing to do.

The key to this fish dish being a total success with my family is that it is perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender on in the inside. It’s also seasoned to perfection with an easy mixture of cumin, garlic powder, mild chili powder and pepper.

You can serve it over rice with a side of broccoli.

Or wrap it up in a corn tortilla with some slices of avocado, chunks of pineapple and a sprinkle of cheese.

You could also serve it with a side of lemon butter pasta and some steamed carrots.

I also love to add a fillet of fish to the top of my kale salad with sliced apples, goat cheese and cucumbers, but my kids think salad is pointless so this dish is a harder sell:)

Really the options for this crispy seasoned fish recipe are endless.
