"Damn yummy"! That's what the husband said and I have to agree. The family sucked it down and was scraping the platter for the extra sauce. I served it on a bed of linguine with cauliflower and a green salad. Followed the recipe exactly except due to the abundance of tomatos in my garden use fresh instead of canned.

Wonderful! I made this according to the recipe, except I added about 4 times the amount of red pepper. Hubby agreed, this one is a keeper! Thanks-

I accidentally thought I'd purchased red snapper... and realized when I took it out of the fridge, it was cod! Let me tell you, however... this dish worked WONDERFULLY with cod. It was 'steakish' like and both DH and I adored it. Thank you!

Greeeat recipe. A true super-food entre. I love the presentation. Kinda like a genovese I have done with Mahi. If you don't like olives you could use artichoke heart and maintain the zesty taste. Thanks for sharing gibson

This was very, very good!! I may try doing a whole snapper and stuff it with the mixture.
