     To get the best of the fresh basil I added it just after the vegie mix.cooked. The heat of the cooking will infuse the dish with the basil and get the best results.jFresh herbs should always be put in last of any dish,dry should be put in first to release their oils and flavor....Chef Jim - 4/9/08

     This was good but finding snapper in Minnesota is difficult at best. - 9/22/16

     I think I would reduce the onions and increase the mushrooms - a little watery but good flavor. - 2/20/11

     This recipe ruled. We would definately make it again and it was so easy. I found that the balsamic vinegar didn't over power the fish but added a bit of sweetness. - 5/31/10

     The fish ended up sticking to the pan, but it didnt burn so it was still good. I did how ever end up squeezing fresh lemon juice over it at the table. It was a little too bland for my taste before hand. Good but not amazing - 1/27/10

  • BESTILLANDHEAR
     Red Snapper and Flounder tend to have a strong "fishy" smell that can turn off some people. I wondered if the balsamic vinegar in this recipe was meant to cope with the smell of fish????? - 4/9/08

     I would try this recipe I would not use the balsamic vinegar I would use the rest of the ingredients and the snapper would come out perfect. - 4/9/08

     i rarely cook fish, unless it comes from a box, because i don't know how. iwas hoping this would be a good recipe to start with. - 4/9/08

     I would make it again, however I would modify it. Personally, I would not use any balsamic vinegar. It's too strong a flavor. I would use the olive oil and lemon then sprinkle with a light amount of cajun spices before adding the topping. Then it would be perfect. As is its bland and too sweet. - 2/29/08
