Great dish! I did it exactly like the recipe said other than using cilantro rather than parsley because I thought it would go better with the side of pico de gallo I made to go with it. It came out perfectly and I am very pleased because it was a very cheap meal for fish, only about %u20AC2.50 for about a pound of fish.

I was pleasantly surprised! This was my first time trying makerel and was very worried about having a "fishy" taste. I accidentally overcooked mine (left it in the oven to keep warm... didn't realize the broiler was still on) but it came out mild, and the sauce was amazing and worth the extra effort!

Stunning flavor! I had no garlic powder so I put a couple of largish cloves of garlic through the garlic press and added that. I had no parsley, so for a bit of color I used sliced green scallions instead of the minced onion or onion powder. We had whole fish, rather than filets. But they were small. About an inch thick, so I broiled 10 minutes--5 on each side. Perfect.
