<p>I was surprised at how tasty this was and how much my mayonnaise haters (they didn't know) loved it. Used lemon juice instead of lime and we are on a low-sodium diet so I used unsalted butter, omitted the salt and added more pepper...this worked great.</p>

This is probably the BEST tilapia I have ever had! I was out of lime juice and substituted Lemon juice and it's absolutely STILL amazing! LOVE IT. So easy it's embarrassing, yet doesn't taste simple! Kudos!

Easy and tasty recipe. I did not put in the butter because I saw no reason for it. It tasted great without it and the topping was probably thicker without it. I also didn't bother with the foil. I just sprayed my broiler pan with non-stick spray. Easy clean up and I didn't waste any foil. I will definitely be making this again.

i LOVE this recipie! It is so easy, and comes together in a snap, not to mention that it is just flat out FABULOUS on the taste buds :) i always add a little oregano and parsley in the cheese mix and use a shredded parmesan, asagio and romano mix in place of the plain parmesan. SO GOOD!

Didn't have any lime, so I used lemon. It was wonderful. Cooking times, which are often inaccurate with fish were perfect.

Make sure you marinate the fish for about an hour before you cook it. The taste was good but not strong enough without the extra marinating.
