My sister, Liz, originally made this for my family awhile back when I was even less of a fish fan. I've been meaning to make it ever since (which has been a LONG time) because it was *delicious* the first time. Way to go, sister, for making me like things I didn't think I liked!
I served mine up with some rice and vegetables. YUM! There are certainly other ways to serve it up as well but the rice is nice because it soaks up all the marinade. Then you have delicious fish on top of delicious rice. That's pretty awesome, right? The answer to my rhetorical question is YES! It it is very awesome.

Way to Go, Stephanie! I was quite surprised at the FISH recipe, when I knew you are not traditionally a seafood lover. :) Your spirit of adventure is alive and well.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not a fish lover but I am trying! This is a really good recipe to start because the other flavors help cover up the fishy flavors :)
