My favorite kitchen appliance is the slow-cooker, and I use mine more than anyone else I know.  It does a great job with this good-for-you dish.

My family loves fish, and this super-fast and delicious dish is very popular at my house.  Thought it tastes like it takes long time, it cooks in minutes under the broiler.  We like it garnished with lemon wedges and couscous on the side.
