I don't usually like fish, but this recipe was delicious! I did use less lemon butter to cut calories, but I recommend more tomatoes and more spinach.

This was a really great recipe! We have never had the dish at Carino's so I can't compare it though. I followed the recipe exactly except for cutting the amount of jalepenos in half because I'm not a huge fan. For the lemon butter, I used the recipe posted by MissAli and it was easy and yummy! Next time, I'll increase the sauce amount and add more spinache!

I made this for my wife and she RAVED about it. Said it was exactly like the restaurant's but I needed to use a little less lemon.

GREAT Recipe. We loved it! The only thing I changed is I replaced the wine with a Bud Light because that's what I had! (I guess you know your a redneck if...)
