This was easy and delicious. I made a slight change to the recipe; Instead of rolling the fillet/ stuffing mixture, I placed 1 3 oz. fillet in the pan, spread 1/4 of the mixture on it and covered with another 3 oz. fillet.

I made this for my family when they were visiting from out of town. We all loved it. It was so delicious! Plus, it's so easy. It's really hard to beat a dish that is so yummy and so simple to make.

OMG! I made 1/2 recipe for just me while my other half was out of town (he does not eat fish). I thought I would eat both. It was two meals it was so filling with a veg. side. I looked forward to the next night it was sooo good. I think even HE will like this and I do plan to make it for him and my friend this weekend. Out of this world!!
