Yum, I really loved this! I used barramundi fillets and instead of marjoram, I used fresh oregano from the garden. I only baked for 30 minutes. Thanks!

This was very tasty! I used tilapia fillets (as suggested in the ingredient list), and added some Tabasco sauce to the veggies for a spicier flavor. I only had to cook the fish for around 30 minutes since it wasn't a whole fish, and the fillets were thinner than some. Because of this, my veggies were still slightly crisp and we enjoyed them that way, but for anyone who likes softer veggies, I would recommend cooking them longer before adding to the fish when using thinner fish fillets as I did. Thanks so much for sharing! ~Sue

I loved it, DH and DS liked it. I think it is because they are used to the way we normally bake fsh but I am making this again. I loved the meld of flavors from the vegetables. I think I will add in green beans next time and garlic. We used fresh caught walleye. Served the fish with fresh cut and baked seasoned french fries. Made for Budget Friendly Beverage tag 12/2008

Outstanding! We all enjoyed this fish, the flavours were yummy and it may taken a little time to cook but it was very simple to prepare. I used Basa Fillets and cooked the last step for 35 minutes. Served the fish with steam rice but I would have preferred a crusty bread to soak in the yummy sauce. Thank you Julie B's Hive- *Made for Zaar World Tour 4*

We used sea bream ON THE BONE and this was a delicious meal for all of us tonight! A lovely way of serving fish - we liked the combination of all the vegetables. Made for ZWT4 - thanks! FT:-)
