Chili Tabasco Tilapia

This recipe was inspired by a meal I enjoyed at a restaurant recently. I asked our waiter for the recipe, but all he would tell me is that the sauce contained chili sauce over a glaze. It was the perfect combination of sweet and heat, so I tried to duplicate it at home. Using Tabasco Sweet and Spicy gives the fish its slightly sweet flavor. This recipe was featured in an article in the St Louis Post-Dispatch about me and my book, Living the Thin Life. While this specific recipe isn't in my book, there are many similar healthy, tasty recipes included. Please visit my website, www.livingthethinlife.com, for more information.
