Microwaved Fish?

This was curious. Another recipe from Everyday Food. A very fast marinade for fish, which you allow to sit for 20 minutes, then a few minutes in the microwave. Done. I think most fish will work for the recipe. It calls for cod, I used halibut. Tilapia would be lovely. Most white fish would work. For the halibut fillets below, I cooked them for 3 minutes, 30 seconds. 3 minutes would have been enough. So for a fast, light dinner or lunch, give this one a try.
