This dish is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon fillets that I needed to use up and this recipe was perfect.

This dish was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

The fish was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I wasn't a big fan of the green beans in this dish. I think they were a bit overcooked.

I wasn't sure how well fish would cook in the microwave, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was moist and flaky, and the vegetables were tender and flavorful.
