  We had this on Christmas Eve with crushed potatoes. It was easy to cook (great after last minute shopping) and tasted divine. We used plaice and will do again.

  Lovely! A bit too much lemon in the recipe for our tastes, but will definitely make again. Very easy and delicious.

  This was great, I halved the recipe as I was only cooking for two people and I would use a little less lemon next time. I thought it was delicious though, I served it with boiled new potatoes, carrots and green beans. I will definitely eat this again.

  made this with freshly caught sole and it was delicious...had a very hard time killing and skinning the fish, but after that it was quick and easy!

  thought this was a great easy recipe, I'm not a fan of fish but it was very good, just used juice of half a lemon though, after trying it on other family members first.

  To cut down on saturated fat I used only a little butter for the flavour and olive oil; also adding a touch of chopped flat parsley. As lemons come in different sizes and juicyness I would adjust accordingly.

  We had this, using plaice fillets, last night. After pan-frying the fish, I added lemon and pepper butter (free from the supermarket fishmonger), plus a couple of extra bits of butter, but no lemon juice. Served with a pan-fried king scallop each and crushed new potatoes. Yum! This will be on the family must-do-again list.

  Tried it with small Lemon Sole fillets - yum, yum! Didn't need much cooking and will ease up on the lemon juice next time, but nice!
