Made this last night. My husband isn't a big fish eater, but he loved it. Will make again.
This was tasty! So easy to cook with a short amount of time involved. It definitely will be a staple at our house.
Great flavor. I fell in love with capers because of this recipe.
I eliminated the capers as I don't like them and I forgot to add the butter after melting it in the microwave, but it still turned out great! It was very light. The bonus was how easy this is to pull together for a meal.
Very good, even though I didn't re-read how to make this. I just tossed EVERYTHING in with the butter, Dah! Cooked for 12 minutes, perfect.
This is one of our favorite seafood recipes. We really like it with the recipe for roasted potatoes and artichokes.
This is a quick and simple way to prepare fish. I enjoyed the fresh lemon juice and the salty capers.
This was very good and had a great taste. I think I would make it with olive oil instead of butter so it would be a healthier recipe.
I made this recipe tonight for dinner. I wanted to try it because it has capers in it and I had never cooked with them before. The fish was good but I thought it was lacking a little something...I am not sure what. If I tried it again I would probably try to add another an additional spice to it. But hey I am just a beginner.
I am not a big fish eater, but I love this recipe. Plus, it is so easy to make. My go-to meal when hosting a vegetarian for dinner.
This is my favorite tilapia recipe I've made yet. I wasn't sure about the capers at first and think I'd use a little less in the future, but otherwise the flavor was really good.
It is very tasty and lite. I will definitely be making it again.
We liked this a lot, and will definitely make it again! I am always looking for new ways to use tilapia since it is so affordable and adaptable. Was thinking of maybe browning the fish quickly on both sides next time, just to give it a more pleasing eye appeal. Thanks to Hope Stewar for submitting the recipe.
This was okay, nothing special. BUT~ I don't think I used enough lemon, also think it might be better with a thicker fish. Thanks for sharing.
This is a delicious way to make a quick fish dinner. We eat this once a week. Sometimes I add dijon mustard for some zip!
Fish is not my favorite thing but since we need to have it a couple times a week - this is one recipe I can use to make it okay enough to eat it! For people that aren't fish eaters, use milder flavored fish such as cod, tilapia, mahi-mahi.
