We are all looking for ways to make weeknight dinners healthy, fast and tasty. I hate skimping on flavor for the sake of time. This dinner checks all the boxes and is a cinch to throw together. The garlic becomes a soft spread after it cooks and the juices meld into a lemony white wine sauce—so sop it all up with some ciabatta bread and pat yourself on the back. You have a new go-to meal for your weeknight repertoire.
