I added mushrooms,  onions and jalapenos. Absolutely delicious!!

Made it tonight and it blew my mind how tasty it was! Usually the fishy taste is hard to penetrate but the garlic butter with the chili spice really flavored the dish overall. Plus I had every ingredient lying around the house. We even used a lemon from our tree!

I completely agree with a previous poster: this tastes completely fantastic and well beyond what the simple ingredients would suggest. I wanted to diversify beyond the tried-and-true salmon that I always eat. Tilapia is now in the rotation—-this was a fast, simple and delicious recipe.

Very good. This tasted delicious. I followed the recipe with the fresh squeezed lemon juice and seasoned with just lemon pepper. Served it with brown rice and a salad and it was ready faster than take out and a hit with the family.

I loved it!  Easy and delicious.  I will use this recipe often.

I added additional butter (2 tablespoons extra), tadbit of fresh leaf cilantro, and more garlic mixed in my butter. I baked it for 14 mins and then roasted for 1 min on bottom rack, all at 400. perfection and very delicious.

I baked this today for lunch with roasted corn on the cob and French style green beans.  It was delicious.  Thank you.

My fiance isn't  big on fish. BUT he loves when I  make tilapia! I haven't  made it in awhile but will be making it tonight. I  make it with a little seasoning, butter and lemon. I love tilapia  and  salmon.

This is the FIRST EVER fish dish that my 10-year-old liked, ate AND politely offered to eat again :)

using swai instead of tilapia, still very tasty, added some cayenne pepper to mine after cooking

I absolutely love Tilapia and have been eating it for years. This has to be the BEST ever recipe for tilapia I have come across. Fish was tasty, moist, mouth watering; and a great way to enjoy tilapia

I like it  I use olive oil for the butter

This tilapia takes just 20 minutes from start to finish and is deliciously buttery, lemony, and garlicky. What more can we say?
