This dish has the makings of great recipe, however it doesn't quite make the grade. It defenitely needs seasoning prior to baking the fish - and it needs something else, just not quite sure what.... yet. On the plus - it is a light summery meal, but just needs that bit of extra depth.

It's not quite clear whether to put the juice of the lemon into the Pasta, so I decided to serve the remaining lemon on the side and put a glass of wine in with the stock. Fresh stock and herbs are a must with this recipe.

This is nice enough, but I agree with the first comment in that it lacks something and I am also not quite sure what! I did add white wine to my stock and love the one pot method of cooking the dish.

I agree that this seemed to be lacking something to make it a great dish, the fish definitely needed seasoning, would have been extremely bland tasting without it. saying that the gremolata was nice and it was nice to try a different type of pasta. A very nice, easy ad healthy midweek meal.
