I love this recipe !!! It took two attempts to grill the tilapia properly (the first attempt the filets fell apart trying to flip them during grilling, but it didn't affect the taste.
With regards to the cucumber yogurt sauce, you can easily half or even one third the recipe, as I had tons of sauce left over for the two filets. It is delicious, though, and can be kept in the fridge.

Pretty good. I am new to the world of grilled fish, but had all these ingredients in my fridge. Normally I fry tilapia and put it in tacos, but in an effort to be healthier, I opted for grilled. I loved how light this meal was. I served it over couscous, and my husband and I were both fans! I would definitely recommend this to others.
