The sauce was too thin. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish was overcooked. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some lemon juice and capers to the sauce and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of tarragon, so I substituted it with dill. It turned out great!
