Easy. Elegant. Quick. This dish is worthy of someone special. Like YOU! - 22 May 2013
This was very good, and truly easy. The kiddos made it while I took a desperately needed nap. They may have over-cooked it ever so slightly, but the brighness of the sauce with its fresh dill and snap of lemon and horseradish made it perfect! We served ours with just-in-season steamed artichokes and cut grape tomatoes instead of green beans and potatoes. - 14 May 2013
