A perfect dinner party meal that will make them remember this one for a long time to come..the butter sauce is amazing on this delicate tasting fish! Always brings you a taste of spring and summer approaching a nice fresh citrus buttery rum flavor! As summer approaches, it's time to start looking for Swing Sets! Fun in the sun for the kids! I saw some beautiful swing sets to purchase from CSN, take a look, a great place to shop with more than 200+ stores, start now before summer gets here and the kids will be so happy! I buy all my new kitchen pans, gadgets and their customer service is fantastic!! I just love to shop with them! They have an amazing assortment to fit all your shopping needs there!

ReplyDeleteClaudia-Tilapia always need dressing up, because it would be quite bland if not using some spice, or marinade, but it's such a nice light fish. Love the pecan crunchy topping, and the butter rum sauce...Yumm!
ReplyDeleteI did a pecan crunch topping for salmon fillets but with your amazing rum sauce recipe, I would use that for the salmon too!
i have to say, the vanilla in here caught my eye. we're experimenting more and more with savory dishes and vanilla notes. this sounds spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThe run sauce sizzles. We do eat alot of tilapia (sometimes pecan crusted) but I never sauce it. This does jazz it up wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy Claudia, especially the sauce. This one is definitely a keeper!
