Notes –

This recipe is strong on lemon so adjust it to your taste. The first time I made it, I put way too much lemon juice in (I used 1 whole lemon) and it ruined the dish. I’ve now reduced it to half and I think it’s the perfect balance. If you’re concerned, you can add the zest and cream and squeeze 1 quarter of a lemon into the sauce and adjust that way. Half a lemon works well though, so don’t worry.
