I usually adapt recipes slightly, but this one was perfect exactly as it was. Very easy, quick and healthy. (You can reduce the amount of oil that it suggests if this is a concern, or just omit it completely, as the dressing is flavorful enough without it. It would be great as an appetizer for a small dinner party. Definitely making it again!

This recipe was fantastic! It's definitely a new go-to for my husband and me. I think there was a little too much dressing but I just didn't use it all. Also, two minutes on each side made my fish slightly more cooked than I wanted but you live and learn. I would definitely use less five spice next time, too. Maybe just one teaspoon of each that and the grill seasoning. I used the lettuce this time for the salad but I might try napa cabbage next time.
