Reviews
I didn’t include the squash and I wish I did. That flavor would’ve kicked this dish up a notch for sure but that said, I still LOVE it! Paired with a mildly sweet Riesling and a light Caesar salad…DELISH!!
Really good! Left out the cheese and poultry seasoning. Added diced ginger to the marinade. Marinaded for 3 hours. I strained the marinade and made a sauce for the fish adding butter to finish the sauce. Pan fried the fish. Served fish with sauce over rice.
So yummy!!!
I placed it on greens, added a splash of feta and cucumber and it was delicious!
I marinaded the fish for about 1 hr. and then sauteed it in EVOO in a pan on the stove. Very good.
The vegetables were hard and gross….marinade was good
The marinade was barely noticeable, 25-minutes is not enough time to cook butternut squash or asparagus, nobody should put poultry seasoning on vegetables, and cheese on fish is insane.
This came out amazing!!! I followed the recipe almost all the way. First, I never add salt to any recipe ever until I’ve tasted and/or tried it once. Next, I added 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese mixed into the marinade, plus almost doubled the garlic (we love garlic). Finally, after allowing to marinade for about 30 minutes, I rolled each piece of Tilapia in Bisquick for a light coating and pan-fried them in VERY LIGHT canola oil for 3 minutes each side. Voila!!! OH MY GOSH it was quite possibly the most favorite meal ever served in my house! The kids went wild and asked for seconds and thirds!
This recipe actually exceeded my expectations. We split, seeded, and precooked the squash in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees while the fish was marinating. This allowed for easy peeling and cutting of the squash and eliminated any under cooking of the squash with the fish. We added the cubed squash to the baking dish, laid on the asparagus, then topped with the fish. We also drizzled just a little of the marinade on the fish before sprinkling on the poultry seasoning and putting in the oven. Totally forgot about the mozzarella, but very happy with our dinner as was. The marinade really gave the fish a great flavor, the squash was tender and sweet, and the asparagus (thin spears)was delicately crunch and mild. Hint: heat the honey in a bowl for a few seconds in the microwave if it doesn’t want to blend easily with the lime juice and garlic. Ours wanted to gel up a little from the cold lime juice out of the fridge.
Soo good. I made my own poultry seasoning with some rosemary and sage and tyme. Didn’t use the squash (I’m pretty sure the picture is summer squash not butternut) and it was amazing. Thanks for a great dish
Absolutely outstanding! I reserved a little of the marinade (before placing the fish in it) and put it on after taking the fish out of the oven. And, sprinkled lime zest over the fish prior to cooking. This was the best tilapia we have had in ages. And, it occurred to me that this marinade would be fantastic with chicken, with the lime zest and coconut sprinkled over it. Will try that next.
Instead of butternut squash I used zucchini squash with the asparagus and I cooked them first w/out the fish for about 10 mins. Then added the fish and continued cooking for another 15-20 mins. Turned out pretty good.
Good as is, but instead of discarding the extra marinade, I poured it over the veggies prior to cooking.
My family and I just didn’t like this one very much, I’m sorry to say. I’m basing the rating merely on how well we liked the flavors, nothing else about the recipe. I’m inexperienced at preparing fish, and I thought I’d like these flavors, but I just didn’t like the sweetness with the fish. It was too sweet in our opinion. It was edible, but not something I’d prepare again. Sorry! Just personal preference.
The main flavors in this recipe were really good. I worked from the concept and modified it greatly due to food allergies on our end and what we had at home. I also marinated the fish for a full day and cooked the fish in the marinade instead of pouring the marinade off. The other thing that really complimented this dish well was I created a black bean onion and zucchini side dish and this went perfectly with the honey, lime flavor. We opted without the cheese due to food allergies. Thanks for sharing this dish as it provided a great start to what became a fantastic meal for us!
The flavor was amazing. I make tilapia a LOT so it was nice to have a different flavor than our usual butter, garlic, dill flavor.
Great marinade – works on chicken too!
This recipe is delicious! I only marinated for an hour like it said, and was surprised that I could really taste the honey and lime flavor. Next time, I will add a bit more garlic. I didn’t use the poultry seasoning, as others suggested, and don’t think the mozzarella added anything, so next time I will omit. I did use different vegies – squash, onion, and a bag of frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. I cooked them for 10 minutes before adding the fish. I also added the marinade, pouring it over the vegetables, instead of discarding it. Great combination for the fish!! My boyfriend’s new favorite:)
My boyfriend said that me cooking this made our apartment smell like an old Italian man, but he liked it a lot. I used a small amount of garlic. Very delicious.
Awesome – loved it and husband did too!
Very nice taste. Different flavor but very good! I marinated all day at it was delicious!
