Oh my gosh, I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful this dish tasted! My husband went on and on about how good everything was and when I packed his lunch with the leftovers, he told me to make sure that I put all of the leftover sauce on his fish for today. He really enjoyed it and that is saying something because he usually cringes when I say that I'm making fish. I followed the recipe ingredients as written, except that I didn't add the jalapeno seeds because my kids were also eating this and I didn't want it to be too spicy. I went with the suggestion of another reviewer and broiled the fish instead of poaching it in the sauce. I also seasoned the adult's fish with Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning before broiling. I cannot believe I didn't catch my husband licking his plate with the way he talked about this dish! I will absolutely make this again and again. Thank you for posting!

How Totally Wonderful! Perfect flavor, super easy, quick and delish. Followed it to a tee. I did use mangrove snapper, but very similar in texture to flounder, a tender white fish. It was great.<br/><br/>I served it with jasmine rice and steamed green beans I finished off in a saute pan with nothing more than butter, a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Very simple.<br/><br/>The recipe is great, a great combo of flavors and sauce. Perfect!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
