Very nice flavor and combination of the horseradish and the butter sauce. I did cut back on the butter quite a bit, but it didn't affect the overall flavor. It was excellent. I served it over some basmati rice and some roasted zucchini and summer squash. The sauce was a nice condiment for the rice.<br/>Excellent dish!

THis was fantastic! I did use dried spices instead of fresh because that's what I had. I also used white wine instead of Chardonnay but I will definately make again and try out the Chadonnay. Thanks for posting!

5+ stars! I drastically reduced the fat and it was still wonderful. I used fat free half and half, and cut the butter by 2/3. I used a horseradish spread vs. straight horseradish. Also instead of using the wine on the fish I poured approximately 1/2 cup in the pan so my fish was sort poached/baked. A company worthy dish, yet simple. For the cookathon for my zaar friend, Vicki.

I really enjoyed this. Lot's of flavor and relatively simple to put together. I used a little bit less horseradish because I'm just starting to use it in my cooking and I was a little scared to use so much. Next time I'll use more because I really liked the flavor. Made for lazyme's cook-a-thon.
