I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe was even good for me! The chili-lime butter sauce really made the dish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tilapia. I made it with some tilapia that I had cooked the night before and it turned out great.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The fish is cooked to perfection and the sauce is amazing.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fish turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This recipe is a great way to change up your tilapia routine. The chili-lime butter sauce is a nice departure from the usual lemon-butter sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili pepper than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a great dish.

Easy and delicious! I used frozen tilapia fillets and they turned out great. The sauce is amazing - I could eat it with a spoon.

This tilapia recipe is a keeper! The chili-lime butter sauce is so flavorful and complements the flaky fish perfectly. I served it with roasted vegetables and rice, and it was a hit with the whole family.
