  1. Oh this is wonderful! The only thing I changed was adding 3 tbsp olive oil to the lemon instead of 2 and it worked perfectly - not too dry and not too oily. This is a quick and easy recipe, perfect for school nights when I want the kids fed, bathed and in bed early. It had wonderfully fresh flavours, thanks to the lemon and herbs. I would strongly recommend using fresh lemon and fresh herbs. It just won't have the same effect with dried herbs or concentrated lemon juice. I served it with a crisp green salad.

I love to cook!! This is my #1 favorite recipe site. Everyone is so friendly and the recipes are fantastic! I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and our new little baby girl. We are both stay at home parents as our motel business is attached to our house. We recently turned Vegan and have been experimenting with lots of different meat substitute recipes (seitan, TVP etc).
