Simple to pepare...incredible taste...definately will impress guests -
This is a fantastic recipe! My husband generally does not likey 'fishy' tasting fish, and this fit his taste perfectly. I served with red-sauce linguini and sauteed zucchini. Note: Making sure to add the Rosemary post-baking will make sure any garlic doesn't turn green ;)
