I'm so glad to hear that! This dish is a great way to introduce people to fish who might not be big fans of it. The coriander crust and ginger broth really help to mask the fishy flavor.

That's a great idea! Cilantro is a good substitute for coriander, and it's much easier to find. I'm glad you were able to make this recipe work with the ingredients you had on hand.
