Yummy! Easy, fast, healthy and delicious. LOVE IT! I followed the recipe except for the water. I just added lemon juice to make the paste. I did not add as much butter. I used Reynolds non-stick aluminum foil and no butter. I did put about 1 teaspoon of butter on top of the fish before putting into the broiler. The kids thought it was too spicy but we loved it. I will make this again. Thank you.

    I'll just leave comments as I didn't broil the fish! I made 1/2 marinade recipe for a 220 g salmon fillet; marinated for 20 minutes, baked in the oven, 20 minutes at 200 C. (How is that for a constellation of 2's? ) Turned out delicious!! Not super-spicy at all, just very flavourful and lovely. Will definitely make again - thank you for the recipe!

    This is really simple and very tasty but I think it just over powered our Spangled Emperor (in the snapper family) fillets a bit. I would be inclined to halve the mustard powder and omit the cayenne for our tastes. We also used low fat margarine like Sarah Jayne.

    Wow, does this pack flavor! I used salmon because I already had it in the freezer and it took the seasoning really well. I also used a low fat margarine instead of the butter just to try to keep the fat as low as I could and it still turned out well for me. Made for ZWT4.
