We aren't big fish eaters, but a friend made this for us, and we couldn't believe how wonderful it was! Now we eat it regularly. I love making it for guests because it's simple, looks lovely and tastes restaurant-worthy. -Beth Cooper, Columbus, Ohio

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the sauce turned out clumpy. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

The tilapia was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I will try again with a lower cooking temperature.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and capers, and it was much better.
