This is SO easy to make, and the flavor combo is so much better and more dynamic than I thought it would be. I used cod instead of halibut, and you could broil or grill the fish too. An absolutely fantastic recipe - thanks for posting!!

You should use fennel more, it's very versatile.. This dish Is excellent. I've always loved citrus with fish and this is unique and it shines.
