Cheese Topped Fish

I saved this one a while ago to try from recipezaar member and never got round to making it. I almost did a couple of times and then I would read the ingredients and was not sure if I would like it, what a mistake that was I wish I had made this sooner. It is really quick and easy to make and tastes wonderful the whole family loved it. It is a totally different way to prepare fish with a curry flavour and just works so well. I used cod as I got to our grocery store just before closing and they were sold out of sea bream, but I do not think that mattered at all as it was still so yummy. I also did not read the instructions fully and I put the curry mayo mix and breadcrumbs on the fish and cooked from the git go like that. I cooked it for 15 Minutes in the oven and then just turned on the grill for 3-4 Minutes to really crisp and brown the top, I had quite thick fillets and this was perfect amount of time for them.

Ingredients

6 Sea bream fillets (I did 2 large cod fillets that served 3)
salt
1 Cup mayonnaise (I cut down on this slightly as I was only making for 3)
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder (still used the 2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup matured cheese, grated (still made with exact amounts of cheese and breadcrumbs as I found I needed that.)
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb

Method

1. Remove skin from fillets and arrange in a greased oven-proof dish, sprinkle with salt & spread with combined mayonnaise & curry powder.

2. Cover with foil & bake at 180.C for 25-30 mins or until tender.

3. Mix together cheese & crumbs, sprinkle over fillets, return to oven until lightly browned.

As I said above I put the mayo mix, topped it with the breadcrumb mix and baked uncovered in the oven like that from the git go. I baked for 15 Min's then turned on the grill for 3-4 minutes to finish them off and give them not only a nice golden colour but to really crisp the top up. This was only becuase I had not really read the instructions and this worked out fine.
