I cut this recipe in half for the 2 of us & there was just enough left over for a nice snack! I did use roughy as per the recipe but might just try it with halibut another time! Loved the mix of flavors here & wouldn't change a thing (well, except, mayby, to up the amount of garlic, but that's no major thing! [Tagged, made & reviewed while touring Australia during ZWT5]

Delicious! I made this exactly as written and we had it with steamed rice and an Asian salad. Thanks Rita :)
