I came up with this recipe, because my family loves tilapia and the fish can be quite bland, so I had all the right ingredients to make it more flavorful.

The Crew and I really liked the flavor and ease of preparing this fish.  The varied ingredients meld extremely well... thanks, in good part, to Monika's wonderful Spicy Pineapple Salsa.
