  1. Simple but delicious...easy to make.I used fresh haddock and also salmon.Great for both
     
  2. This is a very attractive and tasty fish recipe. The fish was tilapia and was done in no time. There did seem to be a lot of the honey mango sauce left and I do think I might cut back a little on the honey next time around. All in all a beautiful dish to serve with a mingling of flavors. Made for the Vivacious Violets during ZWT 7.

I'm a widow, retired, and I love cooking. I live on the coast in South Africa and I love seafood. You're welcome to my recipes (all kinds, definitely not just seafood!) Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste! The photo was taken at a rustic seaside restaurant on our West Coast, approx 1 year ago (2016).
