This recipe was easy to follow with easily obtained ingredients. I substituted onions for shallots with good results. Also, I broiled the fish with the skin on. Once the fish is cooked the skin is very easy to remove. To cut the skin off prior to cooking you will need a very sharp fillet knife and will still invariably loose some meat in the process. I omitted the butter as one of my guests was lactose intolerant. The recipe is forgiving and it turned out great nonetheless. <br/>Thanks for posting this one!<br/>Cheers
