I adopted you for Pick A Chef, Spring 2007. We like a big garlic flavour so I minced the garlic cloves and like others, reduced the amount of olive oil. This made a wonderfully tasty dinner and I will be making it again to go with summer salads soon. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for lovely taste and ease of making... so simple, so easy. Thanks!

I halved the amount of oil and water to cut down on the calories; also I was using fairly small halibut fillets. I also pressed the garlic before adding (Katia informed me by email that she doesn't do this, but would if she didn't have family members who aren't that crazy about garlic). The result was a very simple tasty dish that will be a definite standby in my kitchen.

This was very nice. I reduced the olive oil and water also as suggested by others and it worked great. I also used lemon pepper to inhance the flavor and it worked out well. Thanks for sharing.
