A quick and easy go-to recipe, that finicky, non-fish lovers would like. You can substitute with a variety of firm fish fillets. Cooking times will vary, perhaps to a slightly shorter length depending upon thickness and fillet type.

Can this be made on a George Forman Grill or a broiler? Quantity if using dried herbs? Recipe sounds yummy.
