Best way to get the kids to eat fish is to cook this recipe! They loved the sauce. It’s a keeper.
My favorite fish recipe ever and I added some extra fresh chopped garlic. The whole family loves it!
Oh my gosh, this is sooo goood! I served over rice. Next time I may thicken the sauce a little and use as a white gravy over mashed potatoes. This will be added to my monthly menu plan, for sure. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Darlene! So glad you enjoyed it and love the idea of the sauce over mashed potatoes. Yum!
This is one of the most delicious looking posts for today! Pinned it as well.
Sounds great I’m going to try it. But I can’t see why you have put Lemmon pepper seasoning when mist other ingredients are fresh and many can’t get this readily…also in think it’s much better if the fish is gently fried in the skillet first particularly if it has a skin, then the sauce will de glaze the pan adding the flavour before returning the fish to the skillet. Otherwise a great fish thanks!
