Nice dish, but found it a little bit dry.

Wasn't expecting this to be so filling and tasty but it was lovely and can be made in a very short amount of time. It's back on the menu for this week!

Very nice as a light lunch on a sunny day. Go easy on the lemon juice and chilli, and I would increase the amount of courgette a bit next time.

This was a fantastic light dinner exactly as is. Even my wife (who proclaims to not like fish) enjoyed it. It’d make a great packed lunch too with the oil and lemon juice in a separate container. Don’t worry about making it too hot, I used a whole scotch bonnet and barely registered it, it just adds to the flavour.
