This is going to become a favorite of ours. It was so easy to make and so delicious. Somehow I didn't have paprika, so tried the substitution of cumin and cayenne (found it on a website?). So the fish had a little "kick" to the flavor, which my husband and I like, but I will have to try it with paprika.
