I've given this 5 stars because it was delicious. I used a mixture of pecan, almond, pine nut and pistachios... and it still was great! (didn't have enough pecans!) I also forgot the honey so presumably it'll be even better next time. many thanks for a flexible tasty recipe!

This was really good! Only change I made was that I added a little lemon juice to the honey butter...yummy!

I tried this with filet of sole. Nothing to improve on at all. Served it with steamed broccoli and a spinach salad.
