We followed this as written & were really pleased with the results. Our first true CL hit in a while. While the kids weren't thrilled with the how lemony the spinach & mushrooms were, the adults loved them.

Great recipe. A simple and delicious dish that is quick. Adding the 1/4 cup wine was a great idea. I will definitely make this dish again!

Tasty, quick, light and flavorful. Versatile dish that was great for weeknight dinner and could be dressed up for a dinner party. 1/4 cup wine at the end of the mushrooms kept them moist. I served it with orzo. Grilling the fish would be excellent too. Lemon was perfect!
