My daughter and I loved it. She is 10 so I recommend to people with kids. Very inexpensive, specially if it's on sale! I will put a little mustard next time to try.

I've made this recipe several times and it is one of my all-time favorites. I don't think I'll ever cook tilapia any other way! The recipe is very well written, easy to follow and simple. Great job!
