I saw Robin Miller make this on the Food Network the other day and it looked so good I had to try it. I think you'll enjoy it, too.

    Sorry but this receipe didn't work for me at all. I used frozen fish. Even though it was thawed it was so pack with water that it never got brown when frying. Then the sauce didn't have flavor. You mentioned pesto and that's what I used but maybe you meant to say jarred/store bought pesto that was already seasoned, because my prepared pesto of basil and oil didn't give it life. Maybe an experienced chef would have been able to salvage my meal or would have known what to avoid but I'm not a pro. I rarely throw food out but this went in the garbage. So, taking this receipe at face value, it needs tweeking.
