• Fresh mint and cilantro for garnish, optional

(*) For this recipe, orange roughy, whitefish, trout, red snapper, sole, cod, haddock, or any other mild flaky-textured fish can be used.

(**) When you chop garlic, add a little salt. That way, the garlic doesn't stick to the knife as much. Since the salt absorbs the garlic juice, no flavor is lost.
