This marinade rocks! Very gourmet. I couldn't imagine making this without the capers. They add such great flavor.

Easy to prepare and very flavorful. I will definetly make again. I used one large lemon to get about 4 tbsp. of juice, which was plenty. Used with a combo of halibut and cod and both turned out wonderful on the grill. Perfect for a cold winter night in Montana!

A delicious, healthy dish. If I make any change next time, I would use 4 tablespoons of lemon juice rather than 5. That's just a personal choice. The recipe is delicious as is and I highly recommend it.

This was really good! It was a tad too lemony for me so next time I will probably reduce the lemon juice by a tbs. or so but other than that it was awesome. Thanks!

I was unable to get Halibut so used Mahi Mahi and Salmon. We both enjoyed the fish although it took considerably longer to cook on our grill. Next time I will increase the heat on the grill. Thank you for this recipe. It is definately a keeper!
