I love the taste of Tilapia and this recipe is so good served over Snow Peas. It was fast and easy to make when friends of ours called and said they were near our house and wanted to stop by. It was close to dinner time so I came up with this fast dish while they were on their way here. They loved this dish and my friend ask for the recipe before they left. With a glass of red wine and this fish dish; it turned out a great evening with our friends.
