I've decided to cook healthier for my family, and that includes having more fish at home. This is a great recipe, and it's fast, too! —Hope Stewart, Raleigh, North Carolina

Very good, even though I didn't re-read how to make this. I just tossed EVERYTHING in with the butter, Dah! Cooked for 12 minutes, perfect.

This is one of our favorite seafood recipes. We really like it with the recipe for roasted potatoes and artichokes.

This is a quick and simple way to prepare fish. I enjoyed the fresh lemon juice and the salty capers.

This was very good and had a great taste. I think I would make it with olive oil instead of butter so it would be a healthier recipe.

I made this recipe tonight for dinner. I wanted to try it because it has capers in it and I had never cooked with them before. The fish was good but I thought it was lacking a little something...I am not sure what. If I tried it again I would probably try to add another an additional spice to it. But hey I am just a beginner. lol

I am not a big fish eater, but I love this recipe. Plus, it is so easy to make. My go-to meal when hosting a vegetarian for dinner.

This is my favorite tilapia recipe I've made yet. I wasn't sure about the capers at first and think I'd use a little less in the future, but otherwise the flavor was really good.

We liked this a lot, and will definitely make it again! I am always looking for new ways to use tilapia since it is so affordable and adaptable. Was thinking of maybe browning the fish quickly on both sides next time, just to give it a more pleasing eye appeal. Thanks to Hope Stewar for submitting the recipe.

This was okay, nothing special. BUT~ I don't think I used enough lemon, also think it might be better with a thicker fish. Thanks for sharing.
