I think I ground the pine nuts a little too long in the food processor. They started to stick together. I did have to add a little more butter to the pan as it was cooking, as it was starting to dry out. I wasn't too sure at first, but I added an extra sprinkling of garlic salt and dill. It really seemed to be just what it needed.

Very easy and tasty way to do tilapia. We do not care for dill, so I subbed fresh tarragon from the garden. Will be making this again, for sure. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.

Fantastic!! This is an easy fish recipe with a WOW factor. The pinenut flavor was delightful. There was also a slight hint of the lemon and honey coming through. I ground my pine nuts in a food processor. Just be sure to not grind them for too long or you'll wind up with a paste. This is a quality recipe that my whole family loved! ~Made for Sping '09 Pick A Chef~
