This looks so yum... Very sure it tasted yummy too... Jus one doubt... How come you deboned it so perfectly...

@SumiI didn't debone it. But you can debone so it will be easy when you are serving.

It was such a kick ass recipe. Mint lemon and fish combinations were fantastic. Especially once it's done you flake the fish and eat it with the sauce. Heavenly. N healthy. We loved it.
P.s- can you post more continental recipes like chicken parmigiana or roasted chicken with jus etc
