Reviews
12.30.21 The 400ºF temp is pretty high, and since my filets were on the thin side, I took them out at 12 minutes; they were perfectly done (and tasty on their own). I really didn’t measure the Cajun seasoning, just gave the tilapia filets a pretty heavy shake. I did add some sour cream and shredded cheddar to the tacos, served with some Instant Pot® refried beans, and we were happy with the way this meal turned out.
