Sounds good. But I think that you want to use lemon zest instead of pith.
Actually, I was lucky enough to taste the final dish and it was delicious! You certainly could use zest if you prefer.
We’ve tried it with scallops, and now atop swordfish with pappardelle. Delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it and are making it your own!
