I thought this was delicious! I didn't have any sesame oil, so I used olive oil and it was fine. I really liked the fact that you marinate the fish in the same dish you bake it in. I did the "15 minute" marinate time (only it was probably in there 22 or so while the oven heated) and it took only 15 minutes to bake. Came out lovely. Thanks!

I am a stay-at-home-mom, or rather, drive-around-in-the-minivan mom to DS7, DD6, DD5 and DS1. DH is lactose intolerant so I have learned to work around that in my recipes. I started baking cookies and such when I was about 9, and cooking daily suppers when I was 13 so I have been in the kitchen for a good percentage of my life already. It's a good thing that it's my favourite place to be!
My favourite appliance is a rice cooker, with the Kitchenaid mixer running a close second. DH bought a Traeger wood pellet barbecue for Mother's Day a few years ago and it is amazing.
I almost always wear an apron in the kitchen because I'm a sloppy cook and stained too many shirts. My favourite is from www.ashtongreen.com, a Canadian website that sells great kitchen stuff.
