I recently became a fan of tilapia. The mild taste makes it easy to top with our favorite ingredients. And it’s low in calories and fat. What’s not to love? —Robin Brenneman, Hilliard, Ohio

All I've ever read about tilapia is it is very dirty. I might try this recipe with another fish, but never with tilapia. Too afraid!

Much better to use a different fish filet. Tilapia is far too high in Omega 6 fatty acids, plus one needs to be very careful sourcing it. Way too much of It is grown in very unsavory conditions.

The picture in the magazine looked great, the description sounded delicious but, unfortunately, it was tasteless. I won't be making it again.

Always looking now for recipes that will serve just one or two without making massive changes, and this one filled the bill... Just one fillet, with the other ingredients reduced by half and it worked. I love tilapia, and the addition of these rather typical Mediterranean flavors was perfect for me. I put rice pilaf on the side. Delicious.

This was very, very good!! I love all the toppings, so I figured I'd like them on the tilapia. Healthy too! I'm going to try the other two variations soon. Loved it!
