"Everyone at my house loved it! It was fast to make and I liked that it took only 1 pan."
"This recipe has two things we are trying to eat more of fish and spinach. Great combination and very easy to prepare. I don't think it needed the walnuts...they didn't add anything to the dish."
"This was a good, solid recipe. Loved the spinach with it."
"This was very good. I used pecans instead of walnuts. I all used finely diced red/ yellow peppers instead of the red pepper flakes."
"I am just learning to eat fish and this recipe is so good! It isn't fishy at all."
"This was pretty good. Both the tilapia and the spinach were very flavorful!"
"This recipe was a keeper, EXCEPT for the walnuts. We didn't care for the added taste or texture. I served brown rice as an accompaniment. This recipe is a "keeper.""
