Great recipe! I would bake for 10 minutes and then broil for 5 as this gives the spices a lower temp to be absorbed by the fish. If you broil first, the spice cooks off.<br/>otherwise it it soooooooo good.

I made this fish dish for dinner and it was delicious! I had leftovers because my husband won't eat fish so I made a little lemon, rosemary, garlic & parmesan vinegrette. I flaked the fish and tossed it with angel hair pasta, sundried tomatoes and green olives stuffed with feta cheese. Delicious fish for both nights! This recipe is definitely a keeper. :)

I made this with trout last night, it's delicious! The only change I made to the recipe was the cooking. I put it in the oven to bake first for 10 minutes then put about 6" lower than the broiler and broiled it for about 5 minutes - watching it very carefully so i didn't burn the herb topping. Outstanding fish - my husband and I oooo'd and ahhhhhh'd - a keeper!!!

Made it as is except only had dried rosemary so I put less of it in and added in some fresh flat-leafed parsley. Beautifully cooked. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a very easy and good recipe for dinner. I squeezed a bit of fresh lemon over the fish before serving. Didn't have fresh rosemary on hand, so I used dried. Still - a nice recipe. Thanks for sharing!
