This is from Cooking Light (June 2011, pg 86) with changes that were suggested by multiple reviewers. I've intended on making this for years now, but my husband isn't a big fan of fish and seafood. So the magazine clipping kept getting put aside. But I want to post the recipe so it's available when I finally have a chance to make it. The recipe was highly rated, and the changes suggested sound like great additions to the original recipe.
