Used it to bake Swai. It was awesome. Melts in your mouth. Absolutely no fishy taste will use on differenttypes of fin fish

Love it! Also good with Cod. Will try it this summer with Lake perch and Walleye.

Wonderful, melt in your mouth, buttery flavor with just a hint of lemon. Seasoning is PERFECT! Fast to make. Thawed individually vacuumed wrapped Tilapia in cold water for just a short time to thaw and had this on the table in no time at all.

This was a big hit for my family. Even my daughter who is a very picky eater loved it

Easiest yet best tasting recipe using Tilapia that I have ever made. Only thing I changed was to season the filet with the garlic powder and salt instead of mixing it with the butter and lemon. It was perfect! I will say that buying fresh Tilapia versus previously frozen fish will make a huge difference in taste.

Great flavor. I fell in love with capers because of this recipe.

I eliminated the capers as I don't like them and I forgot to add the butter after melting it in the microwave, but it still turned out great! It was very light. The bonus was how easy this is to pull together for a meal.
