Recipe Note
Tilapia is a mild fish that flavors adhere to well. When buying tilapia try to buy U.S. farm-raised where standards are high. A good alternative to U.S. farmed is tilapia from Central and South America. Try to avoid buying from China or Taiwan where standards are not rigorously enforced.
