We LOVED this recipe. The snow peas are a lovely base - bright, crisp and healthy. The fish is prepared simply. The topping of almonds in butter is a stunning and most delicious finish. This is a recipe I would be proud to serve guests; and feel wonderful doing so because it's so healthy. Thank you for posting!

What a simple, elegant and delicious recipe! I made this as directed only steaming my snow peas in the micro and using toasted pine nuts instead of almonds (I was out of almonds). I served this with recipe#305974#305974 and recipe#56376#56376. Definately and keeper. Made for Let's PARTY 2011 tag game.
