DH was ecstatic, this was a full-bodied meal even though it was sensible. For two of us, I used 3 fillets and the remainder of a jar of spaghetti sauce and spinach salad, so this also helped me clean out the refrigerator. DH is not fond of feta cheese, so I used Swiss cheese for him (provolone would also work well). I served Paula Deen's Fancy Green Beans as a side to salvage fresh green beans in time, but there was too much going on — a war of taste, Italian vs. Mandarin (although both recipes were fantastic). So it's best to keep it simple, and serve this with a side salad, and maybe a small serving of pasta. Thanks for sharing this recipe, ~Jen~. Made for Photo Tag.

    Although I did make changes to the recipe I was very happy with the results. It was quick, easy, and with a salad and fruit made a nice meal. My change was to use a garlic & herb alfredo jarred sauce instead of marinara. I also added cracked black pepper. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for ZWT4.
