    Very delicious yet quick and easy! Gotta love that! I used low sodium soy sauce and ground dry ginger. I will definitely make this one again because it uses ingredients that I regularly have on hand. - 6/18/08

    This turned out pretty good, & my husband & I are such snobs when it comes to fish (we catch our own). I used the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend instead of regular brown sugar, reduced sodium soy sauce, & dry ginger. I also baked it instead of broiling it. My husband really liked the glaze! - 6/12/08

    I made this last night and I would make only 1 revision. I would use less soy sauce. I felt like I was tasting too much soy sauce which is good I guess if you like soy sauce. My family said they really like it. My kids ate it up! - 6/11/08

    Very good and easy to make. Give yourself enough time to reduce while not letting the fish get cold. - 2/6/09

    This was a very yummy recipe! I made it with regular soy sauce and it was a bit too salty. I will try the lower sodium next time. It would be good with chives on top. I will make it again! - 2/24/16

    This was excellent. I didn't salt and pepper the fish first but the marinade took care of that. I served it with stir fried onions, zucchini and yellow squash. This was better than a restaurant meal. This is a keeper. By the way, I used Truvia instead of brown sugar bringing the calorie count down. - 11/10/13

    This was easy and delicious! Followed measurements exactly, but used low sodium soy sauce, ground ginger, and replaced one tbsp of brown sugar with granulated splenda. Baked at 400 for 15 minutes. Husband loved the glaze and even my toddler liked this dish. Served with Asian-style mixed vegetables. - 4/20/13

    Delicious! I added a handful of chopped scallions to the marinade and served it with a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. Yum! - 2/26/12

    My whole family liked this. The only thing I didn't have on hand was the vinegar. I used apple cider that I did have and it came out great! 2 year old said "yum" so it's a hit!!! - 11/10/11

    This was a very tasty satisfying dish. I had it with black beans and rice. Delish!!! - 7/10/11

    Oh my goodness this was so yummy. Use a little less soy so it doesn't overwhelm the fish. - 2/8/11
  • LESLIEMC15
    We loved this. Made exactly as the recipe indicated and served steamed broccoli and orzo pasta with mushrooms on the side. My 20 month old and 6.5 year old LOVED it, too (hubby did as well). Will try this same recipe Salmon soon. AWESOME! - 1/23/11
  • EMILYF325
    Amazing! My husband and I both loved it. It had a little bit of a spicy kick to it but not bad at all. I can't eat anything remotely spicy and this was just perfect! Sweet, spicy and delicious! - 9/30/10

  • KEVINKELLY
    This was delicous and easy to make it tasted like something you would get in a resturant. And for the first time in 10 years my husband didnt slather his fish with tarter sauce! The only changes I made was to add more ginger and garlic because I love those ingrediants. - 9/21/08
