Didnt make the couscous since I didnt have it on hand and made some veggies instead, but the tilapia came out delicious! The mango and cilantro with fresh lime over them really do make the fish pop with flavor! Would make this again, it was quick and easy !!

I love this recipe! I have made it for years and it is a perfect blend of flavors and cooks in a breeze. The mango salsa is a perfect side although I did add a chopped jalapeno to the salsa as I like it with a little more spice. Quick and delicious!

I came home from work and pulled out tilapia…Hmmm, what should I do with this, then I found this dish, tried it WOWWWW! LOVED IT! So I took to work for lunch the next day and had one of my co-workers try it, let put it this way, she ate 3/4 of it LOL, LOL. I will be making this dish again for sure, IT’S A KEEPER!!!! Thank you!

Best Tilapia ever and so easy thanks so much

Let me be honest, I am NO cook, and this was my first time venturing beyond chicken nuggets. However, I was shocked and awed by how good and simple this recipe is. My boyfriend and I decided it was so good that the mango was not even necessary. The fish was the perfect consistency and the spices livened it up. We made it with a side of cous cous and we used the leftover spices to sauté our vegetables. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was easy to make and tasty. The mango and cilantro made the seasoning on the fish pop.

Not good without the salsa. Not the best seasoning for tilapia.
