• Set aside for 20 min or so.
• Heat the broiler to high, and move the oven rack to position closest to heat.
• Slide the pan into the oven, and broil the fish for 5 minute Keep the oven door ajar so the broiler element stays lit.
• Turn the pan around (back to front), and broil for 5 more minute.

• The fish should be opaque and flaky.
• Spoon the sauce over the fish when serving.
