I really like this fish recipe. You have to have the fresh salsa with it. I am pretty sure that my dad has made this with chicken as well.
ReplyDeleteI made this with chicken tenders a few weeks ago and it was indeed fabulous. I was even going to take a picture but forgot until it was half eaten. Boy am I glad I didn't now because it definitely wouldn't have looked as lovely as your presentation.
ReplyDeleteI wish my husband liked fish. Next time you make it with fish will you save me a piece? I will even buy it off you.
