My fiance and I love this recipe. Although, we are going to tweek the preparation method the next time around, and yes we are absolutely sure there will be a next time. Instead of cooking the bacon half way in the microwave we will cook it halfway in the pan that the tilapia will be pan seared in to infuse the fish with the bacon oil flavor and sprinkle the fish with a little salt, pepper, and brown sugar as it is cooking. Then we will make a brown sugar, bacon, butter glaze in a separate pan and drizzle it over the tilapia at the end. Overall this was such a tasty dish, thank you for sharing it.
