Bri, this is an excellent fish dish! I used tilapia as that was all I was able to find in the fish market. I also substituted vidalia onions for the shallots. Otherwise, everything else was exactly as stated in your directions, which were very easy to follow. The tomatoes and onions add a lot to the flavor. The sauce is an excellent addition to the pan-fried fish which makes the entire dish moist and flavorful. Everyone at the table raved over their meal! Thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of this wonderful recipe, Bri!
