I made this for dinner this evening and was so excited that it turned out great. I wouldn’t change anything about it. My steaks were smaller so just adjusted cooking time and made frequent use of my thermometer. And they turned out juicy and flaky. My hubby can be kind of picky about fish and he gave it two thumbs up. I will definitely make this again.
We are so glad that you and your husband enjoyed this recipe, Christine! Thank you for sharing this feedback.
