I figured out how to make this fish maintain moisture: First, I marinated it in white wine (sav blanc, Charles Shaw) and lemon juice for several hours before hand. Then, I put a small butter pat under each piece of fish in a pyrex cassarole dish. Then, I drizzled the fish with olive oil before rubbing the spices on. Not only was it moist, it was also burst with wine flavor.. This was seriously the best tilapia I've ever had. Thank you for the recipe!

Was pretty good. I wasn't too crazy about the dill sauce actually. I know most reviews raved about how the sauce made the meal but I disagree. The fish was great but my kids wouldn't eat it because it was too spicy so next time I'll most likely just use garlic/pepper seasoning.

This had great flavor. Next time I will use twice as much cajun seasoning, but I like spicy food. We only used half the sauce, though. I'm definitely making this one again!

The sauce was delicious. I used chives instead of the dill. I used less Cajun seasoning as well because I have a 4-year old eating also... Excellent recipe!

Great recipe. I tweaked a lot of the numbers, though. For our tastes, I needed about double the Cajun seasoning. I added more dill and garlic to the sauce, as well. I also did not like how thick it was, so I added about 1/4 cup milk to thin it out a bit. Overall, great base recipe. You may have to modify it to suit your liking.

Giving 5 stars because of the dill sauce - you HAVE to try it.

I pan fried the fish too. Next time I'll mix the cajun seasoning with some flour and fry it that way.

Super quick, easy, and inexpensive. The BF likes it lots too. The dill sauce keeps as well and can be used with other dishes. I use canola lower-fat mayonnaise and it tastes quite good. Served with coconut rice and broccoli. Good Friday night dish after a long workweek and a couple of happy hour cocktails at the pub.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I made the Dill Sauce the day before using. I used Light Sour Cream and a touch more garlic powder. Before drizzling the sauce over the fish, I warmed it in the microwave for 20 second then stirred. I let it sit and warmed again for another 10 seconds. I do think that it brought out the flavors, plus I don't like putting cold sauces on warm food. The spices on the Talapia and the sauce were a great combination.

I loved the recipe. I had individually frozen tilapia fillets and used them I did not have cajun seasoning in the house so in a small bowl, I mixed 1 tsp each of cumin powder, corriander powder, chilli powder and like a 3/4 tsp salt and a 3/4 tsp black pepper powder. As my husband and I are spicy food eaters it was perfect for us. I rubbed the spices on both sides of the frozen fillets and followed the rest of the recipe, same amount of cooking time with lemon and greased dish. We loved it

I made this recipe twice. The first time I used tilapia. I cooked it with the same seasonings as the recipe in a frying pan in butter and olive oil as others had suggested. The flavor and texture were okay. I mixed all the ingredients for the sauce together, and then I realized I didn't have dill. Uh oh. I searched online for dill substitutes but found none. We ate the sauce without the dill, and it was nothing special. Since I had leftover sauce, I bought dill and decided to try the recipe again. BIG DIFFERENCE! It was so delicious! My husband loved it too. By the way, I used plain whole milk creamline yogurt (available at Trader Joe) instead of sour cream. I substitute this yogurt for sour cream in just about every recipe. Nobody can ever tell the difference! The fish also came out MUCH BETTER the second time around. However, the second time I used sole instead of tilapia. Both times the fish was frozen, so maybe the tilapia was older than the sole? Also, the sole slices were thinner. My husband and I both LOVED the meal the second time. We ate it with asapragus and whole wheat couscous (available at Trader Joe) on the side. I will definitely make this again.

This was EXCELLENT... but I'm only giving it 4 stars because I did change the cooking procedure from baking to pan cooking in a bit of olive oil.... mainly because I was too lazy to empty my oven of baking pans. I used Zatarain creole seasoning... which is quite spicy to me... but has salt, pepper etc in it... so a light sprinkle on both sides of the fish did fine for us (kids included). If it were just me and my husband, I would have gone heavier... not to blackened stage... but just about double it to really get a taste of the seasoning. Really, as other people said, the fish is nothing too special without the sauce.... BUT... I see this as the fish and the sauce actually being both very important parts of the recipe... you can't do one with the other... really, you DO need to make the sauce as a part of the recipe. Use reduced fat components if you want... but really, without it, the fish is just pan or oven cooked fish....which is fine of course... but the sauce just makes it pop.

Delicious! I took a cue from one of the other reviewers and put the sauce on top of the filets about halfway through the baking time so that the sauce heated through as well. Very nice.

Fantastic recipe. I made fish tacos with the recipe by pan frying the tilapia and then I put the dill sauce over a cole slaw mix. I added a little dash of red pepper and creole seasoning to the dill sauce. Finally, I put everything in a flour tortilla. My family ate every last morsel.

We enjoyed this.. I added a little olive oil to the fish before baking it and didn't really measure the seasoning - just sprinkled both sides of the fish generously - and it was awesome. We skipped the sauce to save a few calories and it was good enough without it.

I too passed on the baking method opting for pan searing the fish in olive oil and butter as others did, this gave it complete moisture and prevented the fish from overcooking and drying out. I also seasoned the fish with adobo then sprinkled on my own blend of cajun seasoning which basically consisted of a blend of garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, thyme, chili powder). This gave it the complete "POW" an otherwise bland fish needs, and since I don't like the concept of lemon on it, I passed on that as well. As for the sauce, the only two things I changed were: I added fresh minced garlic (which was easy, since I keep in my fridge a big container of minced garlic by Badia, and since I don't tend to keep fresh dill, I keep a jar of freeze dried dill which is just as good as fresh and I heated it up for 30 seconds in the microwave to take the "chill" out. I served this meal with my white rice made with chicken stock (instead of water) with sauteed onions and red and green peppers, since it goes so well with seafood dishes. My husband and I absolutely loved this "gourmet" meal that certainly would have cost us a pretty penny if we had ordered it in any restaurant.

It was silent at the dinner table, which says a lot for 15 people to be quiet! everyone loved it, it was a beautiful combination with the cajun and lemon paired with the dill sauce! It was absolute heaven! To make sure it didn't dry out while baking I squeezed the lemon ends, left over from slicing the lemons, on top of the fish. I put white rice on the side along with fried green beans, which made for an excellent meal!
