This is a terrific recipe and although I did us salmon, I can see interchanging this with any fish that is light in nature. Very easy to put together, and very aromatic too. I brushed the fish with 1/2 the amount of butter and drizzled in some EVOO, (a tablespoon in all) then rubbing the salt and pepper over the skin of the fish. Added the blended spice herb sauce, which was aromatic and very lovely! I spooned the top with the sauce and served with a crusty roll. Very nice indeed. Certainly will keep this in my "use often" file. thanks Halcyon! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* January 2009.

We loved this - I am a certified salmon freak and my fiance loves all things spicy so this was a hit. I used quite a bit less oil in the sauce (1 Tbsp) and more Tabasco so it was a thicker sauce but it was full of flavor with a kick. I loved the hint of lemon with the cilantro and mint. It made quite a bit of sauce so I batched the extra up to see if it works out of the freezer for later meals.
