This dish was quite bland when I made it according to the directions. I made it another night as we had lots of tilapia from a trip to Costco. I salted BOTH sides of the fish and added Italian seasoning before laying it on the aluminum foil which I brushed with olive oil. I would also recommend tenting the fish with a layer of foil to keep it from drying out. I also went heavier with the garlic - 3 times the amount and gave it a few sprays with "I can't believe it's not Butter." It was quite tasty that way.

Very tasty! I prepared mine a little differently of course, I can't help myself. I sliced my onions thin rather than chopping or dicing. I used a 5 pepper spice blend rather than cayenne. I laid the filets on top of some pre-cooked bacon I had leftover from breakfast. For the ingrediants, I added the oil, garlic, onions, salt and pepper to a small microwaveable container. I mixed these items together and cooked on high for 2 minutes, stirring half way through. I laid the bacon in the casserole dish, the filets on top, then covered with the oil/onion/garlic mix. I refridgerated for only an hour, then added an appropriate amount of 5 spice blend and covered with foil. I baked for the recommended 30 minutes. It was excellent, my husband loved it and so did I! I'll definately serve this or any variation of it again!

I make this often, we love it! I rarely marinate longer than a few minutes and it still comes out tasty. I used chopped garlic and sprinkle it all over the fish. I disagree with one review- this does NOT need salt. My husband is on a low sodium diet and this is one of the few recipes I love that is no salt.

This is delicious! My husband claims to not like fish but he loved this. I think I cooked a minute or two too long, be careful because it dries out when overcooked. We'll definately eat this again!

It was really good. Even my brother ate one, which is loco. I marinated it overnight like the recipe said, but I cut the onions into rings so I could take them off after the fish baked. I loved the cayenne.
