It's an easy and light recipe and great for anytime of the year. I think that it makes a fall/winter day festive and a great spring/summer season starter. The fish is fresh and inviting and the ingredients are just perfect. I'm still a novice in Mexican cuisine, but I am hoping that I did this recipe some justice!
