When you deviate from a recipe you are no longer critiquing the original recipe. Make the recipe as is, critique it and decide if you like it it or not. When you change it so much you are now making a new recipe. The original recipe has the correct times for a thick cut of fish baked in a sauce. To add different cheeses only takes away from the taste of the fish. Sometimes, simplicity is best but like so many other North American dishes, if a little is good then a whole lot more must be better. Not so.
I’ve never seen Greek yogurt cream cheese. Is there a reason for using this type over regular cream cheese other than calories? Can the Greek yogurt cream cheese be replaced by regular cream cheese?
Yes, you can use the regular. Should be fine! It was only for reduced calories.
Wonderful! Some people keep saying it isn’t there, but I see it on every browser.
I also have looked everywhere for the print button and a pin button, but they are not showing up. Maybe I need to change the browser. Glad I read that comment.
Sorry, but I don’t see a printer icon.
