Wonderful flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My 5 year old daughter requested flounder for dinner and of course I needed to use up some our summer bounty from the... farmstand. This was the perfect recipe! I added some chopped zucchini but left out the spinach. I also poached the fish a couple extra minutes. We served it with sauteed Swiss Chard in garlic and onions on the side and this dish was just delightful. My daughter just loved this!Read more

So light and tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My hubby who just started eating fish thought this was sooo yummy! I did increase the amount of the veggies it asks for to... make it more of a meal. Also, after the fish was done, I set it on the serving plate and added al dente spaghetti to the remaining liquid. The pasta picked up that flavor and I think really rounded out the dish. Definitely a keeper.Read more

very nice
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this is a very wonderful and EASY dish. i used dashi (japanese bonito boullion) for the fish stock and also let the final... reduction go a bit longer, serving crusty olive oiled bread and lemon slices to garnish. i'd give it 5 stars, but you needed the extra lemon and oil to really pack the 'bam' punch. local, lofat, my 2 year old even supped it up! yum, will make again.Read more
