I made this tonight and everyone LOVED it. We aren't big fish eaters, but it is Lent, so I made it. We entertained my uncle, who is an excellent cook, and also not really a fish eater, and he loved t! The salsa is delicious, and would be good on so many things, and the spices for the rub are perfect. I will keep this recipe, and make it again soon!

This recipe was very easy and quick to prepare. Most of all my non-fish eating husband loved it. Definitely a keeper in my recipe box!

My local grocery store did not have snapper fresh only frozen so I purchased Tilapia fillets in place of that. This dish was very light and very good! My kids loved it as well. I wrapped 8 fillets in foil in baked in the oven instead of grilling. Did not use the coriander ( did not have any on hand. Did not use green olives either (forgot to pick them up...LOL. Added green onions to the salsa mix.
Everything is remained the same from the recipe.
Absolutely Delicious. So with my added ingredients and non-existing ingredients.. I think it turned out very well. : Will make it again.
