Tilapia with Strawberry-Thyme Sauce image

Here's a delicious way to welcome spring. I like to serve the tilapia with polenta and a blend of leeks and green onions that I've roasted in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. And definitely add a bit of bacon or blue cheese: It lends a hint of saltiness to contrast with the sweet and tangy sauce.

I understand. The strawberry thyme sauce is definitely a unique flavor. You can always try making the sauce with less sugar, or even omit it altogether.

I'm not sure about the strawberry thyme sauce. It was a bit too sweet for me.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish turned out perfectly cooked and flaky. The sauce was also delicious, with a great balance of sweet and tart flavors.
