A unique treatment of tilapia that pleased our tastebuds. We loved the unexpected bite of cayenne. I omitted the bell peppers (personal taste) but otherwise made as written. Cooking time was perfect to soften the leek and cook the fish. The veggie layer plus the topping kept the fish very moist. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
