    Wow! My family absolutely loved this dish. The combinations in the rice was genius...The fish was good but, definitely needed a bit more salt and seasoning. I will definitely make this dish again and again; maybe trying a different type of meat.

    The tilapia came out really bland and the rice was overly sweet. It looked great on TV but wasn't so great in real life.

    I made this for dinner last night with a few alterations and it was amazing. I used Frozen Tilapia from Sam's - thawed it - and used 6 in a 9x13 pan. I only used 1 cup of Salsa (Pace Picante, and used instant brown rice (which didn't soak up the 2 cups of Chicken broth so I just strained it out. I don't like cilantro so I used Flat Leaf Parsley. My only change next time will be to use a little less pineapple. It's a very sweet addition and slightly overpowers everything else. I used Black Beans with no salt added and used very little salt in the marinade and it was just amazing...Very Good!

    I thought the flavor combination was going to be excellent, I usually love sweet tasting food. This was way too sweet, the combination of pineapples, sugar and lemon was way too overpowering for a mild fish like tilapia. I was disappointed that I wasted my time and money preparing this meal.

    We very much enjoyed this twist on cooking tilapia. The next night I baked a couple of chicken breasts and served the left over rice mixture with them. Enjoyed it just as much reheated!

    We love Tilapia, but get tired sometimes of the lemon, dill, butter combinations favored by most other recipe forums. This one, although taking a bit longer, made a complete meal in one dish and was a huge hit. I didn't have any black beans, so substituted red beans and it still worked out. I even used leftover salsa from a quick taco mix dinner we had our daughter make last weekend. It was the perfect foil for the chunky pineapple and cilantro. This is going in my "gold" file for sure-fire hits at the dinner table. Thanks for adding a sweet/spicy flare and fire to an often times bland fish dish!

    I am not a fish eater - but my kids (3 & 5 started asking a while back why we don't ever eat fish...so I started making it once in a while - frying it, or drowning it in lemon & butter. This was my first healthy fish recipe - we all LOVED it! It was light, flavorful & perfect for the rainy night we are having tonight! I used a peach-pineapple salsa which made it a little sweeter, but still had a 'kick'...Will definlitelyi make again!
