This was so, so good!! I had trout fillets, rather than whole, but they worked fine by just adjusting the cooking time. I was a little leery of the vinegar sauce on top of the southwestern type flavors, but it was perfect. The combination of ingredients may sound a little mismatched to some, but they melded into one absolutely delicious dish. Thanks so much for pointing me towards this recipe!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
