This was very easy and something a bit different than the usual for us. When the fish was just about done, I poured the sauce over the fish in the skillet. We served this with rice and steamed vegetables.

I thought this was really great, and so simple to make. The dressing was very tangy and flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly, using spinach for my "gourmet greens." I will be making this recipe a lot in the hot summer months. Thanks for sharing!
