This is wonderful! I followed Ravenseye's advice and added very thinly sliced garlic and sliced lemon. Delicious. The aroma was just great when I open up the wrap. Since it was just for me I did a half recipe and then with the leftovers I am going to have that with a salad for lunch tomorrow. I think that will be really nice.

This was a prefectly wonderful dish that I added to our seafood buffet yesterday - the seasoning just about dead on - I added a little garlic and lemon butter on the side for those that wanted to crank it up a notch and it seemed that most did so I perhaps next time I would add a clove of mashed garlic to the herb mixture and throw in a few lemon slices - made for zingo 2008
