    I used mahi-mahi from Costco's frozen fish section instead of tilapia. The fillets were thicker than the tilapia I usually buy, which probably accounts for having to leave the fish in the oven 15 minutes-20 minutes, covered, instead of 5 minutes. The dish is simple to make, yet so flavorful. I served it with a baked potato, sour cream, and chives. DELICIOUS!

    This is a light and healthy way of fixing tilapia. The sauce is wonderful, but not overpowering. Next time I might try using a hotter chile or add some chile flakes as the anaheim chile was a little too mild for my taste. My family, even the grandchildren, loved it. This is a keeper.

    It was OK. Not great, but OK. For me, anyway. Thanks for sharing all of your recipes!

    I'm not really a tilapia fan, but this recipe was insanely good! It's light on calories and fat, but definitely not light on flavor. Even my picky teenagers liked it! I followed the recipe exactly, which is very unusual for me, and next time I make it I'll do it exactly the same!

    Loved this! I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago for my husband and I. There were no leftovers, I used Poblano peppers instead of the Anaheim as my grocery store had ran out. I will make this again, it was quick and simple.

    I've made this several times now and my BF still thinks it's the best recipe I've ever made (and he thinks a lot of them are "phenomenal". He thinks the capers and olives make the dish. The last time I did make a couple changes for presentation because he wants to serve this at our next dinner party. I added a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce, a couple jalapenos peppers and some red pepper flakes (we love a kick to most dishes then simmered until thick. We grilled the fish, served on a bed of rice with the sauce over the top. Awesome! That will be my first choice when I have the time to prepare it that way.

    Loved it!!! Awesome!!! I didn't do the capers or green olives but after reading a couple reviews I wish I'd at least used the olives. My husband doesn't like tomato-y dishes but he loved this one...Success!!!!

    The sauce was just excellent...but you couldn't taste the fish at all. I don't really like fish so this wasn't too big a deal for me. My husband wished I went a little easier on the sauce or tried it with a more flavorful fish (I used tilapia. Still new at working with fish so I may try it again, but will probably use less of the sauce and maybe try a little 'heftier' fillet. Generally though, this went over well with the eaters!
