This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of tilapia, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon-tarragon sauce is so good that it makes the tilapia taste amazing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tilapia. I had some grilled tilapia from the night before, and this recipe was a perfect way to use it up.

The sauce is amazing! I could drink it by itself. The tilapia was a little bland, but the sauce made up for it.

This tilapia recipe is a keeper! The lemon-tarragon sauce is so flavorful and really complements the mild tilapia. I served it over quinoa and steamed asparagus, and it was a hit with the whole family.
