Wonderful recipe! My husband's and my complements to whomever came up with this quick, easy, healthy and delicious recipe. We enjoyed it.

I make this at least once a week. So easy and so reliably juicy and delicious! Even if I leave it in longer while I finish my sides, it has never been dried out, never overcooked, always soft, flaky, moist & tasty.

I made this for my husband who is not much of a fish eater and me.  He had two servings and said he would definitely eat again. Another plus is filets can be frozen and just bake awhile longer.  And it didn’t leave the kitchen smelling like fish.

extraordinary! Light fresh and delicious. A hit with all ages!

Yumm!  This was delicious and super easy to make.

Unless fish is fried, or oven baked with bread crumbs, my husband won't eat it!!! He gave this a big thumbs up. I didn't have capers, but wanted another taste in there with the butter and lemon. I sprinkled each filet with Old Bay Seasoning and skipped the oregano. Delicious and so easy!!!

This is a wonderful recipe - and so easy! I used Italian seasoning instead of just oregano, and this was delicious! Light flavored and easy - this is my new go-to for tilapia AND flounder!

This recipe is a favorite of mine for a quick tilapia dinner. I have subbed white wine for the lemon juice and it’s soooo good. I actually prefer the wine to the lemon juice. I also upped the amount of butter/wine/spices by 50%. This has become one of my staples for a quick easy weeknight dinner.

Just made this last night without the capers ( whatever that is LOL) for the first time.  LOVED IT!!! Sooo good I'm making it AGAIN tonight LOL !!!!

I used dill pickle chopped fine (same measurement) in place of the capers.  Such a great recipe!

Been making this recipe since 2013 when I first started college and was a broke college student. Never used capers cuz I never knew what they were and never had them but even without those, this recipe is really good! It’s very light and airy. Pair it with some rice and broccoli and you got yourself a quick affordable meal. Also, to the person saying this recipe is bland. I recommend using the lemon butter mixture before you cook them and when they come out put more of the mixture on it. This helps with the flavor. Btw if you’re not a huge fan of lemons like me, I would probably use alittle less lemon juice than it asks for cuz the lemon can get pretty bold compared to the other flavors. This makes a great meal prep also!!

Wow, Hope! These are the kind of recipes I'm always looking for! It's easy, but doesn't skimp on flavor. When my spouse was released from the hospital and needs to be on a "bland diet", this was great! But there is nothing bland about it! It's just plain delicious!

This is a fantastic recipe!!!!! Everything about it works wonderfully and the taste is FANTASTIC. I do not enjoy fish much at all and I especially usually don't enjoy the taste of tilapia. I've tried several recipes and they're 'OK,' but this one made the fish taste terrific. I grabbed this recipe about an hour before I was to cook and was out of capers, so I searched for a substitution. My google search result recommened subbing with something tangy that has a bit of a bite to it, there were several options. I chose to substitute capers with a spicy baby dill pickle, all it took was one and it worked great! If you use a spicy baby dill, also, be sure to mince it up, really fine, because it spreads the flavor out evenly over the fish, when it's cut up tiny.  The only other substitution I made was using 1 tsp   fresh minced garlic (= 2 cloves), because I think it tastes better than garlic powder, just my taste preference. Everyone loved this recipe and I definitely will be using it whenever we eat tilapia, in the future! Well done, TOH!

This was wonderful! I have always cooked my tilapia in a skillet and decided I wanted to try baking it. I searched for a good recipe and this was the first one that actually appealed to me. I am so glad we tried it! We will be using this recipe a lot!!! 

Thank you Hope for sharing this awesome recipe.  Quick, delicious, and easy clean up (BONUS!).  I couldn't find my dried oregano, so I substituted Italian dried seasonings instead.  It was awesome.

 This was pretty simple, pretty straight-forwards.  I liked the spices, but wanted more on top of my fish, so next time I'll increase that.  I put as many capers as I wanted on top, so that part was delicious.  I felt like there was a tad too much butter, but that's probably personal preference.  Overall, a solid tilapia recipe that I'll probably try again with some tweaks.

If you are trying to eat healthier, don't use tilapia!  Try another mild white fish. I used salt water trout filets. Was very good.

This recipe was terrific.  I will make again and again and again.

This is now in my Favorites cookbook.  So quick and so delicious.  I plan on trying different types of fish with this recipe.

this is very good i have made it twice very good and very easy to make cant get enough of it thank you.
