    Delicious sauce that went well with rice and green beans. I baked the fish in a dish that was just slightly larger than the fish and the sauce almost covered it. I wouldn't call it "broiled;" it was more like baked or poached. Turned out great nonetheless. I'll definitely make it again! - 10/8/12
