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!

I prefer Cod to Tilapia for flavor, and always use a combo of butter and olive oil in the bottom of the pan to keep the fish from drying out. After reading reviews, I also subed plain yogart for the sour cream and Miracle Whip for the Mayo. The sause is great on asparagus broiled in EVOO!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made my own cajun seasoning based on a couple different recipes from this site and my own tastes. The fish was actually pretty spicy and the dill sauce was the perfect complement. I used dried dill, since that was what I had on hand (2 tsp). I served with mashed sweet potatoes and green peas and went from fridge to table in about 40 minutes including time to find recipes and make my own seasoning blend. Thanks for a great dinner!

Really, really, really good. I've made this as is, and it is fantastic. We really like to put the sauce over mashed potatoes and serve it with steamed carrots on the side. Great recipe.

This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. There was virtually zero prep time involved, and the results were delicious. I will definitely be adding this to my weekly dinner menu. Even my boyfriend who doesn't really like fish enjoyed this meal.

This is a wonderful recipe. I've made it twice now. The sauce is great. I used a combination of garlic salt and garlic powder for the sauce to give it an extra zing. Also, the first time I made it I didn't put enough cajun seasoning on it, so don't be afraid to season it up. Also, I layed slices of lemon and oranges on the fish while baking. Very nice, light recipe. Garnish it with a fresh sprig of dill and it makes a beautiful presentation!

This was fantastic! I did pan fry the fish in a little butter and olive oil and doubled the garlic powder in the sauce because of the earilier reviews and it was the best meal I ever made. My family is always afraid to try fish because of a few disasters in the past but they all loved it, even my 7 year old daughter who only eats about 5 different foods (picky!) asked for more. Sauce is A+ - very simple but you should make it early so flavors have time to mix. I used Emerils Essence for the cajun seasoning and it was perfect.

This was very good and my children thought it was the best they ever had. I did make some changes that didn't add to the time, but surely added to the flavor. After I seasoned the fish on both sides, I lightly dipped them into bread crumbs and cooked them in a little olive oil over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes on each side. Then I put into the preheated oven for only ten minutes. I also made more of the sauce and we used it for our fish and as a dip for our asparagus. I'll make this again for sure ;o)

We really thought this recipe was only "okay." The dip and the fish were both good alone, but we didn't think they worked together all that well. I am going to try the leftover dip on a wrap tomorrow, but unfortunately, I don't think I am going to be making this one again.

Rating this strictly for the sauce only. I wanted a sauce to serve with fried fish and this was delicious! I added a little extra garlic than called for and think it would be really good with fresh garlic too. Update: I finally made the fish and it was simple and delicious. The sauce still definitely makes this recipe though!

This recipe was very tasty. I didn't have sour cream so I used plain yogurt but it still tasted great. I also adjusted the cooking time. It barely needed 12 minutes. Cooking tilapia too long makes it rubbery and chewy.

This was the best tilapia I've ever had. I didn't bake it - for fear of it drying out (I hate dry fish). I seasoned with salt and pepper and pan-seared on the stove with margarine and a little EVOO. It turned out fantastic. I forgot to use the cajun seasoning! Now the sauce - I'm not understanding the rave reviews. I read, and re-read the recipe to make sure I'd done it right but it was nothing spectacular. I even had to add more garlic powder, more lemon juice and a little red pepper just so it wouldn't be blah. My husband like the sauce - so to each his own...but the fish was great!

Good recipe but I changed it a bit. I also put Mrs. Dash seasoning, garlic, onion powder on the fish before I baked it. Also I covered it for 20 mins (took foil off) and baked additional 10 minutes. Will make again.

I used Old Bay instead of cajun spices, and it went great with the dill sauce! I thought it would've tasted good by itself without the sauce, too, if you're counting calories or something. I sprayed each filet with a little butter spray before adding the Old Bay.
