Husband brought red snapper, and we baked it with the sauce - mostly followed the recipe, but it’s pandemic time and we weren’t going to go to the store for a bunch of cilantro and coriander seeds. Was super yummy, and we will make it again. Beans weren’t ready in time, and he had them with a poached egg for breakfast. Would have been awesome together.
Enjoyed the dish Really took 36 minutes to cook 2.6 lb fish Moist interesting sauce Would make again I generally don’t add salt Would add a little more Was good with rice and fresh asparagus
