Raisins and fish? Wha...??? I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand, and was thrilled. It took a little longer than 30 minutes to get the vegetables cooked properly. My family doesn't like dijon mustard, and boy did they miss out! Don't skip the mustard!

I marinated my fish for longer (a couple of hours)making slashes in the fish to really get the marinade in there. I seasoned as I went. Served it over wild rice and garnished with a sprinkle of parsley. It was not bland at all!

Very bland. Raisins and mustard saved it from a complete blah.

This was really disappointing. I followed the recipe as written and the fish snd the sauce were totally bland. I won’t be making this again.
