Tasty, but I just sprayed the pan w/olive oil pam, used a t of regular butter and mccormick's salt free all purpose seasoning and everything else the same - plugged all the ingredients into the food tracker, ate it all -and had 84 calories. Thanks for the inspiration. - 3/28/09

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I would probably have done it your way if I wasn't using the recipe for a cooking competition (which I was) - the only thing "fat" means to judges is flavour haha.

Made this last night and served with quinoa. Very good! Didn't have fresh thyme handy, which would have been good, but chopped up 1/4 cup or so of other mixed herbs. (basil, oregano, parsley, Mexican tarragon) Mixed in some smoked salmon that needed to be used; so much for low salt, but good! - 6/3/14
