    This was quick and easy to make. We did not have snapper, so I made it with halibut and it was very tasty. This is different from what I usually do with fish, and a welcome change. I added a Tbsp. of whole wheat flour to the spice mix to the spice mix to help it stick to the fish. - 6/26/07

    This might be a great rub for chicken, as well. I think I will give that a try for dinner tonight! Thank you. - 10/9/10

    I used 1 T oil and 1 T smart balance and that was plenty..could have probably gotten by with just cooking spray in the non stick pan. This was very good! - 8/1/09
