Thanks for sharing at our What’s for Dinner party! Hope your week has been great – come back again this Sunday for the new party too!
LOVED it. The only 2 things I did differently was to use a cast iron skillet for a different sear, and I took the fish out of the skillet, then added more butter the garlic and the lemon…let it cook and reduce, then covered the fish that I had on top of steamed spinach. I could eat another plate right now!
