Keep this recipe interesting by changing the fish you use.
You can substitute almost any light fish in this recipe.  Try orange roughy or tilapia for a change of pace.

If using frozen filets, thaw them (inside a Ziploc bag to prevent leaks). Thaw in the refrigerator for 1-3 days. NEVER thaw fish on the kitchen counter.

If you forgot to thaw the filets ahead of time and dinner is due in a couple hours, put the frozen filets into a colander and submerge in COLD water for an hour. Every so often, gently separate the filets as they thaw.
