I used the same ingredients but cooked it a different way. The fish came out tender and had a delicious distinctly buttery taste. I melted the butter in a skilet, sauted garlic about 20 seconds, added the other ingredients (I did not use wine) plus some zest from the lemon. I added the fish, turned to coat, and then cooked for 20-30 minutes. I cooked it covered, but with a slight vent in the cover so that the extra moisture could escape and the sauce reduced. I added this to my permanent recipe collection and will definately be making it again.

Outstanding white fish recipe - the best of it's kind that I have tried. I don't know what knorr swiss aromat seasonings are and I probably wouldn't buy any for 1/2 tsp, so I used Italian seasoning. I had fresh parsley and basil on hand so I used that rather than the dried. Thank you, elainegl, for a GREAT tasting recipe!

When I first saw this recipe, I thought "Oh, like shrimp scampi." No, it's not. I didn't have the Knorr seasoning, so skipped that the first couple times I made this. (Yep, I've made this 3 times so far. It's that good!) Then I found that seasoning, bought it, and made this again using the beef broth instead of the chicken broth. I think I prefer the chicken broth and no Knorr seasoning version. This recipe is going into my "favorites" folder right now! Don't overdo the boullion, as it can make this too salty. I was out of it the second go-round and used canned broth which I reduced to about 1/4 cup. That was even better than the boullion.

This was really wonderful! I used 3 TB of EVOO instead of butter as suggested by YungB & used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute instead of knorr aromat. It complimented it perfectly. I used 1 bouillon cube, not sure if that's a ts or not? And I used frozen tilipia. I will be making this again & again! Thanks :)

SOOO Good!!! and boy is it easy too. I made it to go with tilapia. I didn't have the knorr aromat but I didn't miss a thing because it is delicious. Oh, watch the bouillon amount. I cut it in half and it was perfect. If I had used 1 teaspoon, it would be too salty IMHO. Also, I substituted 3 Tablespoons of olive oil instead of butter. Keeper recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
