Comments
This [recipe](http://find.my(recipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1215929) is from Cooking Light and I thought this was great. The delicate flavor of the tilapia went nicely with the assertive flavors of the Asian-inspired dressing. Lance, however, didn’t care for the flavor and we’re not entirely sure why. The result is that I doubt I’ll be making this again, but I sure did enjoy the leftovers.
