The taste of this dish was great, but the preparation was confusing. I, like others, did not add the cream, no big deal regarding taste. I think it should be added when you whisk the butter and wine. This step is where it actually comes together as a "BUTTER". All along I thought I was making a butter sauce, so I thought I messed it up, but didn't. You really have to whisk it. When fish was done I scooped a dollup of butter on top of hot fish. I think the picture misled me and thought it was supposed to be a sauce. I never saw the show. Still great recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of tilapia but I realize now that that's because I've never had it prepared with such complementary flavors as this recipe. My husband and I both loved this meal and will definitely do again.
The fresh lemon flavor lends a light, bright flavor to both the fish and the orzo. Because of the small quantity I was cooking, I decided to try it on my table top grill rather than fire up my large outdoor grill, and it was still fantastic, perfect for a quick after-work meal.

This talapia dish (actually, it's the sauce that makes it is wonderful. I made it for guests (one guest is a chef and he raved!. After reading the reviews, it seems there is some confusion about the "steps" and what to do with the butter and cream. No more confusion....here it is: After refrigerating the butter mixture, put in sauce pan and melt it down.....add the cream (I used about 1/4 cup and capers and cook for a few moments, or until the sauce mixture thickens. Taste for "lemon" flavor and your preference for tartness. Add more cream if needed. I served the talapia on a bed of parmasean rice instead...no Orzo on hand. And I simply sauted the fish in butter/olive oil in a cast iron pan for 3 min. on each side. I can't wait to make it again....it is so easy and delicious....and I'm sure you could use most any white fish.

I made this recipe tonight, and it was delicious!! The sauce is tart and yummy, and my husband and I really enjoyed the Orzo as a nice alternative rice or pasta side dish. We had asparagus with it too and it went very well. We decided to grill the fish on the Foreman Grill and it turned out wonderfully. It's a little too cold outside to fire up the grill! Try it, you'll like it :

I tried this recipe for dinner tonite after watching Bobby make it on Boy Meets Grill last week. It was really easy, and it tasted (and looked as good as it looked on TV! I not very experienced in the kitchen, but this turned out great and I'm sure company would be quite impressed.
One thing though...the recipe doesn't tell you when to add the Splash of Heavy Cream...I added it right before whisking in the butter and that worked.

Well boys and girls, I just happened to catch the show and too had to give the recipe a try. It was delish.!!!
As to the cream issue, he added it to the melted butter as an emulsifier (I think that is the word. The butter is to enhance the flavor but showing it dripping/or separating from the mixture is not elegant. The cream is his tip to us to show us how to use the butter and its flavor in a subtle way when served in a sauce.

Vaguely remember seeing this episode on the network. He didn't refrigerate this (as it was all done for the camera in one show, but I believe he just tossed in the cream & capers at the end (after the butter & poured it on. I heated the butter mixture up again after it's chill, added the cream & capers, bubbled for a mnute or so & poured it over all. Yum...

WOW... This was a wonderful dish... and after seeing it on Boy Meets Grill I couldn't help myslef, I had to make it... the tastiness of the dish was phenomenal, everyone raved about it... YAY BOBBY!! However, tonight I looked in my fridge and I said, "what is this heavy cream doing in here?" Well the recipe calls for a "splash of heavy cream" and so I purchased a "splash of heavy cream," but the heavy cream is still unopened in the fridge. The recipe printout online doesn't say when to use the cream.. not really sure of it's place... but it was still awesome!! Where does the splash go?
