    I thought it was great that I found an actual 'casserole' fish recipe. We eat fish at least twice a week here if not more, and I get bored of the same tilapia recipes....grilled, poached, baked with breading, without....blah blah blah. Anyhow, I have been to Costa Rica and loved the food and read the ingredients to this recipe (as well as many reviews and thought great I will try it!
    I find also, that two cups of pineapple is too overpowering. I was hoping to be able to taste the orange marinade throughout more but not with that much pineapple. I think one cup would suffice, though perhaps those who used canned pineapple got less flavor and thus did not over power but anyway, yes that and I used lemons instead of limes because that is what I had, and it was good. When I try this again I will make sure to have lime, even though it was really good with lemon. My husband loved this dish, but I used medium salsa and hence could not give it to my 2 year old for the spiciness...I think I would also love to try the brown rice as I think it may stand up to that much cooking better. I found the rice kind of mushy by the time the fish was cooked...I cooked it for the whole 30 min and the fish was perfectly cooked.

    This was really delicious - fish was cooked beautifully and the flavors were so good together! My DH prefers bland food and I want lots of flavor so it was a great combination of mild fish and flavorful rice! Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

    I made this for the first time and my husband and daughter loved it. My daughter is a picky eater and she had two servings and also ate the leftover the following day. This was a healthy and easy recipe. Will make it again.

    After reading all the wonderful reviews I thought that this tilapia dish would be delicious. I have made many of Ingrid's recipes in the past which were excellent...this one though I did not like at all. The rice was ok but the tilapia was just tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly but it didn't have all that flavor that I thought it would have. I won't be making it again.

    I love this dish. It is easy to put together, all in one dish and it is delicious. I have made it several times and my husband loves it. The combination of flavors is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

    I have made this a few times and I think it is wonderful! I did reduce the amount of cilantro. I put 2 tables spoons in the marinade and only 1 in the rice mix - otherwise its just too much!

    Last night, we tried this with chicken instead of tilapia and though it toon 10 more minutes to bake, it was wonderful!

    Great recipe, and super easy. I love dishes that combine your starch, vegetables (or in this case, fruit!, and protein. To make it a bit healthier, I used brown rice instead and cut out the sugar - the orange juice was enough sweetness. You can really kick up the spice with using a spicy salsa or adding jalepenos or tabasco. Next time, I might try it with pinto beans instead of black, because for some reason the black beans came out a bit hard after baking. I love this combination of flavor and it's really fun to make.

    I prepared this dish exactly as written with the exception of adding a drained can of pineapple in addition to some fresh pineapple chunkis. I used store bought chopped tomatoe salsa (chunky and fresh.

    My family loved it. The marinade gave a wonderful flavor to the fish and the bed of rice and sliced lime on top made a wonderful presentation. Everyone at the table gave it a thumbs up. We had pineapple sherbert for dessert. We will definitely have this again!

    Thanks for the recipe,

    Carla

    This was really good - the only thing I did different was making 3 fillets instead of 4 and it was a LOT. I ended up having to fit everything into a 3qt dish and I cooked it for about 20-22 minutes because I'm always afraid of overcooking fish. It wasn't totally flaky so I think next time I will make sure it lasts til 25 minutes. The salsa I ended up using was really spicy though so by the end my mouth was on fire but I think the combination of ingredients blended very well together. My BF loved it too I can tell b/c he kept telling me it was "really good" throughout the whole meal and he doesn't talk very much :

    I watched Simply Delicioso for the first time and this recipe looked interesting so I gave it a try. As I was making it I became a little concerned over the combination of ingredients but I have to tell you when it was baking, the wonderful aroma drew family members into the kitchen and there was no chance at leftovers. Everyone loved it, even the kids and they have already requested it for dinner next week. Try it, you will love it!
