Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

The effort to taste ratio is out of this world. Minimal effort yielded what I have easily paid $40 a plate for in a fine restaurant. Made exactly as noted. Halibut is such an easy fish to bake, and this one was tender and moist and the almonds salt pepper and lemon flavors all came out perfecto. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will definitely make this again.
