This lightly sweet, herby puree radiates with spring flavor and color.

Great fish, skip the pea puree
The fish and sauce were wonderful. Didn't like the pea puree at all.
Delicious Tilapia Recipe
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!
