How often are you cooking seafood at home?

I am the dad and the chef for my family. I'm always looking up new recipes to try and keep things interesting.  I have never taken the time to go back and write a review for all of the delicious things I have cooked. But,  oh man! This was one of the best tasting things I've ever cooked!! 10 out of 10! The salsa was good, but the fish was fantastic by itself!

I made this last night I bumped the sugar down to 2 teaspoons instead and I did a teaspoon of chili powder also other then that I kept the recipe the same. I also added lemon to the salsa so the avocado doesn’t turn brown if we didn’t finish it all. The fish was so good. I’m making more today.

Delicious! Followed the recipe. Loved the hint of sweetness. Great avocado  salsa. Had a bunch of the salsa leftover (fish was all gone!) so added a can of drained/rinsed chickpeas for a bonus salad tomorrow.

Used just a pinch of sugar and was fairly happy with the result. Too salty for our taste (perhaps because no sugar to balance) but I’ll def make this again with less salt. Added some white onion to the pico - delish!

Great!!! Made the whole dish without the brown sugar as others recommended and it was fabulous! Threw it on a bed of spinach.

I loved it. I made it for my family the day I saw it delicious

How many calories are in this without the salsa? Thanks

I love blackened tilapia, spice is my friend.  I made this minus the sugar and added chili powder.  Mmm mmm good

Take out the brown sugar completely. It was way too sweet and wasn’t a great flavor combo.

I should’ve read the comments on the sugar because it def ruined the entire fish for me. Way too sweet. Next time I’ll omit. Other than that, good recipe.

I didn't try the avocado part, but the tilapia was delicious. I didn't use brown sugar. I used a tad bit of honey, just a small drizzle on each piece of fish. It was delish!

Love love love this recipe! And very easy to make

I thought that all tilapia is farm raised.I don't buy or eat farm raised fish.

I loved this. It was nice to have a change of pace with the sweetness. I will definitely be making it again

So I made this recipe exactly as it is. My daughter loved it. My husband and I thought it was too sweet for fish. The recipe was good would be better on chicken.
