I'm not a big fish lover, so any concoction that has me loving fish is a "keeper" in my books. This combination of flavors just works for me. It's wonderful served with a nice buttery herb rice pilaf and corn muffins with butter and honey! -Kelly Williams, Forked River, New Jersey

Ingredients

PRETZEL CRUSTED COD:
1/3 cup light salad dressing
1 tsp. seasoned salt
4 oz. small twist pretzels (3 1/2 cups)
4 (4 oz.) cod fillets
2 to 3 tbsps. Crisco® Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3 DHA

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. plus 1 teaspoon fat-free half-and-half
