I'm not sure why I'm reviewing this recipe since I only loosely used it as a foundation. I knew I wanted to have fish (swai) and I wanted to use some yellow cherry tomatoes I had roasted and frozen last summer. AND I wanted it to be somewhat Mexican so I used oregano in place of thyme, green olives instead of black and sprinkled cilantro on top in lieu of parsley. I served this concoction over brown rice with sliced avocado alongside as a garnish. It was quite tasty and I'm making these notes so that I can remember what I did. I will eventually try the original recipe :)
