very good. The only thing I did differently is I added a quarter of an orange bell pepper (i had one on hand and had to use it up) and a 1/4 cup of white wine to the tomato and onion mixture. I was hesitant to try perch, but I was pleasantly surprised!

LOVE this recipe! I'm new to perch as a college student who just began cooking for herself and this was a great recipe to start on. Easy to make and all the roommates were commenting on what smelled so good. Thanks for posting!
