I have made this recipe at least twice now. The flavors blend well and are tasty. This past time, I did not bother slicing fish in half--I merely placed the fish in the baking pan and topped it with the spinach mix. Much easier and still just as good!

This turned out awesome! I couldn't believe how good it tasted! We used mahi mahi and reduced fat plain cream cheese. The dish tasted gourmet, but felt healthy!

Great recipe. I actually messed up the sauce and put the cream cheese into the sauce - it ended up being a really good dip for crackers. Even with this mess up the recipe was exceptional - I made it with tilapia.

I made this recipe with Tilapia and it was great. You could probably cut the lemon sauce recipe in half and still be ok. Unless you want to smother the fish in the sauce, you dont need to make that much.
