You have to double all the spices and switch the sugar for 1/3 cups instead. Then add lime or lemon once out of the oven. Add like 5 minutes extra to cooking time too. Tasted good for a quick meal.

This recipe was great! I used honey in place of the brown sugar, and a touch of chili powder in place of the cumin and was very pleased with the resulting sweet/spicy flavor.

I did not like this at all. My family would not eat it. it was to sweet (all you tasted was brown sugar) at first and then it was to hot and not the yummy kind of hot. Maybe I did something wronge, but i don't think im going to attempt at it again.

My hubby absolutely loved it. He has asked that I use this recipe from now on when I make Tilapia. I have to confess it's a little sweet for me, but just a personal preference. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
