The recipe said I could do that, right?  :-)  I think grilling would be a much better option, and will make them that way next time.  Also, I am very used to using bottled lemon juice and have never minded it before ... but somehow it really stood out as kind of bitter and sour in this recipe.  So, next time I will also use fresh lemon juice.  I watch enough cooking shows to know that I should allways use fresh lemon juice, but I get lazy sometimes.  Still, a very enjoyable recipe.

I used dried basil rather than fresh and skipped the lemon peel since I didn't have any. I also didn't use the grill (wrong season) and cooked the fish in a skillet instead. Great flavor! I served it with asparagus and my kids ate the fish but I can't say that they loved it. I would absolutely make this again. Good flavor and easy to get on the table quickly.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"04\/05\/2016 21:58","GUID":"3e09ee45ec99446fbe06f07f6fe23ba1","MemberId":3030797,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"hkpepin","SubmittedDate":"04\/05\/2016 21:58"},{"Comment":"<p>Love this recipe! didn't add the capers because I am just not a fan.

The recipe said I could do that, right?  :-)  I think grilling would be a much better option, and will make them that way next time.  Also, I am very used to using bottled lemon juice and have never minded it before ... but somehow it really stood out as kind of bitter and sour in this recipe.  So, next time I will also use fresh lemon juice.  I watch enough cooking shows to know that I should allways use fresh lemon juice, but I get lazy sometimes.  Still, a very enjoyable recipe.
