My family loves fish and when I plan to serve it, I always fix it in the microwave. It doesn't dry out and is a lot better then frying. This one dish meal is so delicious and will become a favorite of your family as well.—Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

I did not care for the lime and chives combination. I baked the fillets instead of microwaving them, and they were moist and tender.
