Bake

Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes. Uncover and bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, for five to eight minutes.

I made this tonight.  Instead of using Montreal steak seasoning, I used Ms. Dash, and deleted the salt.  I also made 6 fillets and there was still a lot of the seasoning left!  Good recipe; I'll use it again.

Tasty! The seasoning was enough for 4 tilapia fillets - would probably even work for 6 fillets. The end result was flaky, deliciously seasoned tilapia.

Seasoning was WAY TOO OVERPOWERING!!  I used 1/2 the salt, and it was still too salty to  eat even after trying to scrape most of the seasoning off!  Perhaps if you omit salt and use this quantity for at least 4 pieces of fish, it might be OK.  When I first “tried” this recipe 5 years ago I decided to make it even easier and just sprinkled the Montreal Steak Seasoning on by itself.  My notes say, “OK.  Like other tilapia recipes better.”  Tonight I decided that maybe the problem was not actually following the recipe, so I tried again.  My husband said it was fine, but I won’t be making this again!

Perfectly flavoured! I omitted the salt and added dill. My husband (and I) loved it!

Loved the recipe. Seasonings were great and my fish came out nice and flaky. Its a keeper!

We had this recipe tonight and thought it was excellent. The seasonings are absolutely delicious. Quick, easy, and tasty. What more could you want. Volunteer Field Editor

This is the first time I have ever cooked fish. Of ANY kind( other than fish sticks). This recipe was easy to follow, I had everything here but Thyme, but followed the recipe other than that. The recipe is easy to follow, tastes delish, and quick to throw together. For a 52 year old first time fish cooker, this recipe is a repeat in my book! I can't believe it took so long for me to try it!  Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

We really liked this dish. I left out the salt because my husband is on a restricted diet and it was still very good. Will make this again.

The reviews were so good I had to try this recipe.  Finallly - a great recipe for bland fish !  It was delicious and restaurant quality! I did read all reviews and did not add any salt and it was perfect. So easy.  My husband couldn't believe I made it last minute one night.   Nice to have an extremely simple dish to put together last minute.  The only thing I will try next time is make some sauce with the butter, spices, and maybe a little wine.

These were easy and delicious! This seasoning mix is great on boneless chicken breast too!

Family loved it as written and asked me to make it again. Thanks.

This was absolutely delicious!!  My 13 year old loved it too!!  I used Weber Steak ‘n Chop Seasoning since that’s what I had.  Everything else was the same.  I made some with just a little salt and some with none.  The no salt fillets were  just as delicious!!

I’m always looking for something to do with tilapia other than *yawn* lemon and garlic and this one had ingredients I readily had on hand. What an easy, flavorful, yummy recipe! I used Omaha Steaks special seasoning because I couldn’t find my Montreal seasoning and it was yummy. Also I didn’t have paprika so I used a little chili powder instead and both substitutions seem to work well. Definitely a keeper recipe!

I thought this was indeed a restaurant-quality recipe!  I did add a dash of cayenne for a bit of heat, and then cooked it in my air fryer (on a square of parchment paper).  It was fantastic, and an easy dish to adjust for just one or two, or a crowd.

This was really tasty. I doubled the recipe and cooked it on the grill. My husband who is not a fish lover went back for 3rds! I will go a little lighter on the salt next time.

I would make this again but I would cut back on the seasoning.  We thought it was way too strong!

This is a very easy recipe and using these spices give a lot of flavor to the fish. Excellent taste!

This recipe was good but a little too powerful on the spices.  I think it would have been better to rub the spices on both sides of the fillets before cooking.

I don't rate recipes often, because I don't follow recipes, usually.  But this one's a keeper.  Neither my husband nor my son loves fish unless it's fried, but both of them RAVE when I make this baked dish.  Lose the salt, that's my only recommendation.  Otherwise, spot-on.  Great with wild rice, or pilaf, or noodles, baked potatoes, or any starch and/or veg of your choice.  The flavor on the fish is assertive.  Not overbearing.  Really good -- Thank you!

This recipe was terrible. It ruined our tilapia. My wife and I had to scrape the seasoning off and it still ruined our tilapia. Seasoning overload. TERRIBLE. I give it a -10

A quick, simple recipe using ingredients easily found in most kitchens. And so delicious that the tartar sauce I put on the table went back to the fridge unused!

I made this for dinner tonight . . .it was delicious. I did not use the butter, but squeezed a 1/2 lemon over the fish and a little water for moisture. Seasonings were perfect! I served this on a bed of steamed spinach.
