Simple and absolutely delicious recipe, and I don’t much care for fish! The tilapia was cooked perfectly. The only thing I changed was to replace the parsley with capers, because my husband *loves* capers. Thank you!
This is a delicious and easy recipe! Making it again this week because my family loved it. Served over a bed of white rice and roasted vegetables–excellent.
Tried this one tonight. Added a little extra butter to it and due to thickness of fish had to cook for 20 minutes but came out excellentÂ
Made this tonight, fast, easy and delicious!! I made it with cod and it was tender, juicy and luscious! My husband said it is the best fish dish I have ever made. Thanks Gina for all you do for us!!
Just made this with cod. Delicious! Didn’t change a thing. Can’t wait to try it on other fish. Thank you!
can I freeze this after cooking for another day?
I’m not too sure I never froze cooked fish.
