I made 8 fillets but kept all other ingredients as called for. I felt it was way too much lemon. But otherwise it was a perfect dish. I will definitely make this again,but only use 1/4 of a lemon.The capers really worked well.

This is a simple yet great-tasting dish. I followed the instructions closely except that I added only some capers with liquid as well as some onions, scallions, red peppers, a small quantity of thawed frozen spinach to the sauce. It really turned out delicious.
