I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but this recipe was actually really good. The lemon and garlic flavors were really bright and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my broccoli turned out too mushy. I think I'll cook it for less time next time.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice.
