What a fabulous, simple recipe for fish. I used lemon and lime juice instead of the tangerine and red snapper for the fish, extra cilantro rather than fish herbs. Then I served it in warm tortilla shells as fish tacos - it is brilliant, a must try! -
Quite enjoyed this one. I couldn't find diced tomatoes with chillis so added some crushed red pepper flakes. Also used cut up orange pieces as tangerines weren't available. I thought the fruit would be weird but was really a nice addition! -
I just finished having this for dinner. It was awesome! I used red snapper as my fish and canned tomatoes with jalapenos, since that can was cheaper than the can of tomatoes and green chilis, so mine had a nice heat to it. I also only put a healthy pinch of salt (maybe 1/2 t) into the mix instead of the 1 T called for. I omitted the "fish herbs" (herbs that go well with fish, I'm assuming?) because I didn't think anything would pair well with it, though in retrospect basil might be a good addition. I checked my (rather thin) fillets at 15 minutes and they were cooked through. I served this with a side of sauteed onions and bell peppers. This was a MASSIVE hit at the dinner table. Thanks for the recipe! :) -
I made this last night, and my husband and I loved it. I cut the salt in half, and used garlic salt rather than regular salt. I also had to substitute a tangelo - there were no tangerines at the store. I served it over rice pilaf, and it is quite simply the best recipe I've found on the site so far. -

I made this fish using Orange Roughy instead of snapper and it was really good.
