    You need to use the REAL rice, NOT converted kind.
    Also, Brown rice is a good choice, not only health wise, but also needed more liquid to cook correctly anyway. As for the lime slices, if you just quezze some juice when you before baking, then put thin sliced lime on top when serving, it looks prettier and fresher without the "bitterness" from the skin.

    You can also make the plain rice seperately if you like......then don't use the broth of water when baking the fish.

    This is a great recipe. Great hit. For those who have complained about it being watery, the probably cooked the rice by the package instructions and not the instructions in the recipe. FOLLOW the recipe and ignore the folks who complained it was watery. Other than that, the dish was a huge success.

    I followed the recipe exactly but I cooked it in a smaller, deeper dish because I don't have a casserole dish. It was watery, bitter from the limes, and the fish was not even cooked! I ended up cooking the fish in a pan afterwards but the bitterness was terrible. I was so surprised by how awful this came out!

    This was really easy to prepare and so good! I used Orange Roughy and only 1 cup of canned diced pineapple chunks that I cut in half and eliminated the sugar. I used one jar of Paul Newman's medium hot red salsa. Yummy! My boyfriend loved it.

    This was simple and delicious! Even my husband who does not like fish, loved this. I love the fresh pineapple in it.

    We just had this for dinner and I'm kind of scratching my head trying to figure out where I went wrong. The dish was runny and way too acidic- really tart and seemed the lime juice came through too strong. I'm wondering where I went wrong? Am going to try it next time without putting the marinade over it to bake.

    I made this recipe last week for my wife and two guests. Each liked it a lot. However, the chunks of the pineapple seem a bit inconsistent with the texture of the rest of the dish. I almost wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to add far smaller pieces of the pineapple.

    I made this recipe today and my family loved it! The fish was tender, moist and flavorful as was the rice. I doubled the rice (because we love rice and added an extra cup of salsa and an extra half cup of fresh pineapple. The presentation was absolutely gorgeous! It looks and tastes like it was a difficult dish to prepare, but it was very easy! I don't make many seafood dishes at home because I never felt confident in my ability to properly prepare it. What a find this recipe was for me! Thanks to Ingrid for sharing her recipe on foodnetwork.com.
