Very good for extremely easy preparation. I added some chopped tomato after a few minutes under the broiler, for color and a little sweetness. Needed a few more minutes than recipe called for -- just keep an eye on it. Great weeknight dish.

Saute onions, red peppers, garlic first. Set aside while preheating the iron frying pan. Put veggies in pan, top with fish and 'sauce.' Broil. YUM!

Very easy and delicious- I soaked the bluefish in milk for about 20 minutes (milk protein connects with “fishy smell” molecule and goes down the drain) kids loved it. I’d never eaten bluefish before- this was meaty and oceany and so good. Served on a bed of arugula with red grapes (cut in half) and the juice of a lemon squeezed over the whole thing.

If you have a good source for really fresh bluefish, this recipe is perfect as written. No need for soaking in milk, or anything else. Delicious.

Very fast, very tasty. Soaked the fish in milk for 20 min. Will halve the sauce in the future and probably add some lemon.

I only made one change to this delicious recipe. The flavors of the mayo, dijon mustard & thyme really complemented the bluefish. I drizzled 2 -3 tablespoons of lemon juice over the fish at least 10 mins. before starting to cook the fillets. I’m not fond of bluefish but my husband loves it. This recipe eliminates most of the strong oily taste(which is why I’m not a fan of bluefish). Thank you!
