Experience

This garnish came out great!  Mirella loves mustard on food so she really liked this dish.  I served it with some good tortellini in an olive oil garlic tomatoes and broccoli mix.  It tasted great with Romano cheese on top!  You can serve it with some white rice and it would allow the fish to be more of the "show" on your plate.  I might do that next time!  

If you want to this garnish can also be used on top of chicken breast!  I might also try that next time!  Prepare the chicken breast the same way I described the fish preparation.  The reason the chicken is soft and moist on the inside and absorbs the garnish or sauce is because of the coating of flour on it!  Try it!  Guaranteed success!  Easy quick recipe!  Just remember to chop your pepper really small.
