This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some snapper fillets that I needed to use up, and this dish was the perfect solution.

I'm allergic to fennel, so I had to omit it from the recipe. The sauce was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the fennel.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a milder white fish.
