     Incredible recipe that I got off Epicurious some time ago and use at least once a month because 1.) it is SO QUICK and easy, and 2.) it's one of the few dinners my entire family devours, from toddler on up. I usually use frozen tilapia filets and sometimes spoon the sauce on broccoli. Mm. - 11/20/11

     Made it for lunch today. Very tasty and quick as well. Hubby had one mouthful and declared this recipe a keeper. I did notice that the 2TBsp of butter were not listed in the calories by ingredients, so I added .5 TBsp butterto my daily calorie intake. - 3/2/12

     This is a great recipe. Very easy and tasty. I've made it twice and liked it a bit more with a tad less butter and a little more dill. Great over rice. - 8/18/15

     This recipe is delicious! My son thinks I'm becoming a gourmet cook. I used Tilapia seasoned with Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning. I also cut the ingredients in half for 2 pieces of fish. It's one of our new favorites. - 1/31/12

     This was terrific. I forgot to put in the butter with the leeks and it still was very tasty. I did use creme fresh instead of sour cream but those should equal out. - 1/19/12

     WOW! This recipe totally ROCKED!! I used frozen cod fillets from Sam's Club, and substituted light sour cream for regular. It was super-easy, and super-delicious -- my whole family LOVED it!! - 9/23/11

     Wow, made this today with cod and it was so fast and delicious. Next time I'll make rice or linguini for a bed under the sauce and leeks. - 10/11/10

     This was REALLY yummy - and super easy too. I used fat free sour cream to cut back a little fat. Even my hubby, who hates "fish night," gave it a thumbs up! - 4/24/10
