*These are unusual flavours for fish which work very well indeed.
*The sauce lasts for weeks refrigerated.
*Either fresh or frozen fish can be used.
*As we are all very busy, this dish can be on the table from the freezer in 30 minutes.
*If the sauce is ready, defrost fish in a basin of cold water for 10 minutes, combine & bake.
*I’m no puritan when it comes to the fresh fish issue as we do not all have the luxury of availability or budget.
*Source a few good quality products and use them.
*Keep it simple!
