Made this as per recipe I really enjoyed this and my husband said not to lose the recipe. Very tangy and it really tasted good , served with baked potatoes and peas. Thanks for posting

We liked it! I took the other reviewers advice and halved the lemon as the kids aren't too fussy. Followed instructions exactly and it turned out great. When I do it again I will reduce the cooking time by 10mins as I have a fan oven. Thanks for posting Barb

This was almost too lemony, but we enjoyed it anyway. Used dried basil instead of oregano, just our preference (actually DH's). Very easy dish and it was nice to have it all prepared and just pop it in the oven at dinnertime. Thanks, Barb.
