My Changes

• This was really, really dry for me.  I added several more tablespoons of olive oil and used an entire fresh lemon.  Still not enough for me.  I'm not sure exactly what it would take to fix it...I tried adding a bit of butter to the leftovers the next day but it still wasn't exactly right.  Maybe if I used butter instead of olive oil originally it would have worked better.
• The original recipe (linked in the title) called for making your own breadcrumbs...maybe that would have helped this.  I don't know, I just used prepared because it's what I had.
