This is a tasty, healthy combined dish once it all comes together in the end, especially if you let the beans sit and meld a bit with the other ingredients before serving as the flavor improves exponentially after even a half hour wait. I recommend using fresh thyme rather than dried in the marinade and placing the fish skin side down in it instead of up to allow for more flavor to permeate the fish. - cheese1227
