Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the skillet before the lemon juice. Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; substitutions include fresh dill or cilantro. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best taste, consume within one day. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet or microwave, taking care not to overcook.
