I never thought to use ranch dressing to coat the fish, although I have heard of using mayonnaise. The dressing and parmesan cheese gave this fish a great mild flavor. I thought it was going to have an overpowering taste, but it did not. It is amazing how using only a few ingredients will allow something to taste sooo good. You definitely do not need any additional salt because of the ranch dressing and parmesan cheese so none is needed. The fish came out wonderful! Hubby approved! Enjoy the recipe!
