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.
