Reviews
This is a good base recipe and easy to change up. When I made it last, I broiled talapia topped with butter, salt and pepper while making the sauce. When making the sauce, I omitted the onions, used a can of fire roasted tomatoes and added a bit of white wine while reducing the sauce. Then stirred in some freshly chopped oregano just before serving.
I served the fish and sauce over orzo that I cooked earlier then warmed in a quick butter, shallot and white wine sauce. Topped with a bit of feta and more oregano this dish was a real hit with my husband.

My wife and I enjoyed the meal very much. We needed to modify it though. The temp. was too low and we added garlic to our liking ( No amount was given so we added 3 cloves). We used a long grain Mediterranean rice recipe as a side dish. Raise the temp to at least 350 for 10-15 minutes for 1.5 – 2 lbs of fish or put the fish under the broiler for less than 10 minutes.
I cooked this recipe for my family and they all loved it. My only problems, the fish needed to cook longer and on a higher heat. Putting it under the boiler was a good idea, thanks to my boyfriend. I added some herbs de provence and lavender to the sauce … delicious!
