Allyoop, I did mean to broil with the aluminum foil, that is why the distance from the broiler is mentioned. However, it sounds like you figured out an alternative method that proved to be successful and I am so glad that you enjoyed the recipe. Happy Cooking!

We found this recipe very tasty. I was in a quandry about the method though. Did you mean to broil with the tin foil lid for 15 minutes or bake, and if so, at what temperature? I baked the fish first for about 10 min. and then broiled for five. It tasted good and was perfectly cooked.
