This was very good. A nice flavor to add on to any firm fish. We will also be trying on Mahi and Swordfish. Not too spicey, may add more chilies and some red pepper flakes next time.

This is absolutely wonderful! I made it with basa from Malaysia (tastes like grouper). I didn't alter the recipe except to add some sliced stuffed green olives because I adore them. The flavor was bright and sophisticated. We had Mexican rice on the side and garnished with a slice of lime. This was really easy to make, and I will definitely be making this again. And what a healthy dish!

This is the second time I have made this recipe and both times have been outstanding. I double the vegetables, etc. for the sauce just because we love it so much. I served it with Spanish rice (fish sauce spooned over top) and refried black beans. Totally awesome recipe. By the way, if you're still in Austin, isn't it a great town?
