I had to make modifications due to my oven and the way fish is sold here. 1) 750 watt oven without 2 layer rack 2) boneless kajikimaguro (sword fish) steaks. 3) I don't like to waste food so peeled and cut stems in 2-3 mm slices; mixed into the peppers, etc. 4) no salt in recipe; added it at table. Put everything on largest plate that fit the oven; zapped it for 4 min. The broccoli a bit underdone so gave it a minute more. The fish was then a bit dry and overdone; next time 4.5 minutes?
