Loved the tilapia and the sauce - so rich I didn't believe I was eating a Cooking Light recipe! I did not care for the pea puree - my husband did but said it did not really go with the fish or the sauce.

The sauce for the fish made the dish for me! Tangy and delicious! I wasn't as crazy about the pee puree, it was an interesting flavor with the mint and pees, wasn't terrible, just different.

The fish and sauce were wonderful. Didn't like the pea puree at all.

I've made the Pan-Seared Tilapia with Sweet Pea Puree recipe, twice. It's a terrific recipe, worthy of serving to guests. I served with rice pilaf. The pea puree adds a novel and delicious touch to the fish. Highly recommended!
