I have to admit that I have not been one to eat much fish. However, I made this tonight for my family and they L O V E D it! My husband already wants to know when we will have it again! The only tweak I did was to add slivered alomnds to the rice. They all loved the rice too! We highly recommend this recipe. It was so easy and quick and really delicious. We will have it once a week or so from now on.
By the way, easy clean-up too!
