I was pretty faithful to the original recipe. However, I did cut the broth amount in half and substituted fresh dill with dried. Also my fillets were fairly thick and were about 8 ounces each, so that changed the cooking time. I really like the ingredients and the ease to which this dish went together. My biggest complaint was that it was somewhat bland. There was a lot of liquid in the bottom of the dish even though I reduced the amount of broth I used, but I don't see that as a big problem. When you lift the fillets and vegetables out of the dish to serve, the liquid stays behind. It was a good dish. I will make this again, but I will use much more seasoning and I may eliminate the broth entirely. Thanks!

This tasted pretty good, but there was a lot of liquid in the pan after it was done.

This was a great recipe, but I made a few changes. I heeded the other reveiwers' suggestion that there was too much broth in this recipe and substituted 1/2 cup canned clam juice for the vegetable broth. I had no fresh dill, so I used 1 teaspoon of dried. I salted and peppered the fish after settling it on the spinach, then thoroughly mixed all the other spices in a small prep bowl and sprinkled on top of the fillets before covering with the onion and lemon slices. My fillets were rather thick, so I found it necessary to add about 7-8 minutes to the baking time. I suggest checking to see if the fish flake easily with a fork after 25 minutes, then adding more time if necessary. Presentation is key, so I used a slotted spatula to slide under each fillet and spinach and then onto the plate, then garnished with the cerry tomatoes. Delicious and a great presentation for a dinner when you want to impress. BTW, I had fresh rockfish caught the day before in the Chesapeake Bay so this helped with achieving a final result that was memorable!

Substitution: Chardonnay for Vegetable Broth (Who has this stuff in their house anyway?) and Red Snapper for Rockfish I also sliced up the entire lemon and covered all the fillets with them. I don't think it made much difference. I didn't season with salt and pepper whatsoever. I tend to leave that for the table. This is a nice, simple way to prepare some fish. I think using the wine altered the taste profile a bit, so I'd likely make some other seasoning choices next time, but I liked it overall.

This recipe was a nice way to use the rockfish we found. Instead of a vegetable broth, we used chardonnay with the fish and it was both filling and delicious. Be wary - the spinach really cooks down significantly. Five cups of spinach really means five cups of spinach. The cooking dish will start to look ridiculously full, but keep adding that spinach because it reduces down to a fairly small bed once cooked. We second-guessed the amount and ended up sadly short on spinach.

This is a good fish (in general)dish. The only thing I did differently was added a bit more spice. The 1/2 cup of vegatable broth is way too much. I doubled the recipe execpt for the broth and it was still too soupy.
