Very easy and delicious! One thing that I added because I didn't have one of the spices was Old Bay seasoning. Taste awesome!!!

This was delicious!! One of our better tilapia recipes. I used fresh fish as well which might have made a difference.

This is a lovely, colorful and healthy dish that makes nice use of fresh veggies. The only thing it really needs is salt to boost the flavor.
