  One of the best fish recipes I have made. Tasty and easy to make as well as low in calories!!! Have made 3 times and used haddock too which is just as good The fresh thyme is such a lovely fresh flavour!!

  A good way of getting my fish-phobic partner to eat fish, he even said he enjoyed it. Think it would be a good way of getting kids to eat fish too!

  Really tasty yet incredibly simple fish dish, using store cupboard ingredients. Perfect for a very healthy meal when you're in a rush. I serve it with wholemeal rice and watercress/rocket salad.

  This sauce is great and so easy. We used Vietnamese River Cobbler fish from Tesco. It's farmed in the UK.

  This was delicious. I made a large batch of sauce and froze half. We used haddock instead of cod and lemon thyme instead of the usual. The lemon taste lifted the sauce to another level.

  We have made this recipe twice now and all the family enjoy it. I served it with steamed new potatoes. We all love it and has become a family favourite that is very quick and easy to make after a day at work.

  I'm not usually keen on a lot of onion, but I decided to go for it and was pleasantly surprised! It was very easy to make and very tasty. Served it with oven chips and broccoli.

  I made this for the first time early last week and it was a huge hit! So much so that the following morning my husband emailed me from his office to say thanks for the fantastic dinner last night and please will you make this again on Friday? That really made me laugh! This is so easy to make and so very tasty. The first time I made this I followed the recipe exactly, using cod and served it with baked potato and some broad beans. The second time I used haddock and it was just as brilliant - served with baked potato and runner beans. I like lostlat's idea of serving this up with rice and will give it a try.

  This is a great, tasty meal! However, I used the same amount of sauce for two people rather than 4. Great with sauteed sweet and white potatoes too.
