I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this dish. The coconut sauce was so good that it made me forget that I was eating fish.

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

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out great. The fish is always moist and flaky, and the sauce is to die for.
