    Great easy recipe! My husband hates cilantro but loves it in this!

    This is going to go down as one of my 'Go To' recipes. It's quick and easy, healthy and versatile. You can pan fry or bake the fish instead of broiling it. I ran out of lime once and used balsamic vinegar instead and that worked out wonderfully as well.

    This was really easy and very delicious. I served it with sauteed bok choy and some rice and it was fantastic.

    Very easy and delicious! I made this for my husband and I, and another couple. Instead of asparagus I made a simple greens salad. Salmon was fresh from Wegmans.....everyone raved!
