Notes

You can use this recipe with any fish you choose.  When we cook with Salmon or one of the more hearty fishes we add 1 tsp of lemon juice.
We like to serve this with a side of asparagus.  When the fish is finishing you can toss the asparagus in the pan for quick one pot meal.
We also serve this with our Asian Veggie dish for a healthy, quick, weeknight meal.
