Wow...we loved this recipe. We have had this 4 times now. Tried it once with chicken and it was yummy but the tilapia is a... hit. This will be a regular on our menu!!Read more

Good fish recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Good go-to fish recipe although the type of fish you use does change how good it turns out. I recommend using a tilapia.
