  • “Uncle Bill,gave this four and three quarters,not sure how to add the quarters.I will certainly do again.Many thanks for posting,a great way to avoid fat.Don Steele”

  • “I cooked just the fish (w/out spinach) and it turned out nice and tasty. Very easy recipe.”

  • “Needs more spinach than what the recipe calls for.Otherwise this is a simple and tasty meal that can be prepared in 30 minutes top.”

  • “Outstanding recipe Uncle Bill.I can’t wait to try this with halibut or seabass.”

  • “Very nice and easy to make. Could a drop of wine go into the sauce?”

  • “We really enjoyed this, an excellent combo of flavours. The dill sprinkled on top of the fish was perfect. I had some haddock which I used instead of the sole and it worked great. Took about 15 minutes to cook, and I didn’t attempt to turn it. Thanks for sharing this, Uncle Bill, it’s a keeper!”

  • “I don’t like fish but cook it for my hubby.I liked this one as it did not have a fishy taste.Hubby found it “a little too lemony” butI will definately make it again!”

  • “Very easy and delicious!I omitted the dill weed from the sauce because I don’t like dill, but other than that I followed the recipe as given.I will definately make this again!”
