I am definitely going to be making this sometime this week. It is one of my favorite things to eat. It is simple and easy to make and so good for you. I like that there is a picture attached. Thanks for sharing this.

Ahh, tilapia, my favourite! I can eat it fried, grilled or even with soups. I would try this recipe out because I haven't cooked tilapia this way. Although we do have one recipe where we stuff tilapia with tomatoes, garlic and onions and grill it. Try it as well! It is especially nice paired with some soy sauce and lemon.
