I thought this was just ok. It’s very easy, but could probably use more flavor. The jalapeno didn’t add any flavor at all, except on the tiny spots that it was touching. The recipes says to flip the fish halfway through grilling, however the toppings would all fall off. I just kept it on the same side for 10 mins (lid closed), and the fish was cooked perfectly.
