So this doesn't make much of a marinade... more like a thick sauce and there isn't much of it... Just enough for me to spread evenly on the top of 5 filets. Definitely not enough to do both sides. 2 Tablespoons of white wine and 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice is the extent of the liquid... not a marinade makes.

I cut this recipe in half for the 2 of us & there was just enough left over for a nice snack! I did use roughy as per the recipe but might just try it with halibut another time! Loved the mix of flavors here & wouldn't change a thing (well, except, mayby, to up the amount of garlic, but that's no major thing! [Tagged, made & reviewed while touring Australia during ZWT5]
