Overall this was a decent, easy recipe, however next time I would add less lemon and maybe more garlic and butter. With the zest, the slices and the lemon juice, it was pretty overwhelming. Next time I might even substitute some white wine instead of the lemon juice. I made this dish for lunch while vacationing in Florida and it was the perfect, light, citrusy lunch for summer.
