What I liked most about this recipe was how quick and easy it was to make without sacrificing the sophistication of taste. I skipped the step with dredging the fish in flour, but it was still pretty good. My husband doesn't comment unless it's really good, so this time he did. The taste of this fish seems versatile so serving it with pasta or rice or a side of vegetables did not clash.

The scent of the garlic slices was so enticing! I used fresh herbs from my garden - parsley, thyme, rosemary, lovage, also a little less butter and a little more wine than called for. I used dry vermouth, my faithful standby for recipes that don't call for a lot of wine when I am not opening a bottle. The herbal notes of the vermouth work really well with recipes such as this. A quick yet impressive dish.
