I'm not a big fan of fish, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The snapper was flaky and moist, and the sauce was light and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was a total flop. The fish was overcooked and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I would have liked the sauce to be a little more flavorful.

The snapper was a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I'll try it again with a different type of fish.

This was my first time cooking snapper, and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the fish was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The snapper is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love that it's a relatively easy recipe to make, too.

This recipe was a hit! The fish was flaky and flavorful, and the sauce was light and tangy. I served it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice, and it was a perfect meal.
