    Very Good
    I think there may be an error in the recipe. Its a little mustard heavy for me- I reduced it to teaspoons rather than tablespoons and increased the lemon juice and I think it came out a lot better! It was very simple to make I paired it with summer veggies and it made a great meal. - 8/7/08

    Incredible!
    I was so excited to see basil in this recipe as I have lots of sweet basil in the garden. It takes a few minutes to prepare, and the flavor is awesome. We use a large grill pan to cook these and it cuts down of prep time. We love this recipe and have served it to guests. This one is a keeper. - 6/21/08
