    This was quite good and different than any other way I have made fish. I used fresh spinach and sauteed it with the garlic and was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of this simple combination. I will definetely do that one again. Also I will be making the fish again. - 3/16/08

    I loved this recipe! I did change it by putting the parmesan directly on the fish, topped it w/the cilantro (I didn't have any tomatoes). I substituted the spinach for stir-fried bok choy with a tsp of olive oil and served it w/a side of w/w couscous (w/dried cranberries and grapes). - 7/28/09

    This dish was delicious. The whole family loved it. I put the tomatoes and parm cheese on for the last couple of minutes of cooking and that worked wonderfully. Will definitely make this again and again. - 7/18/09

    Another delightful meal thanks to Sparkrecipes. I used fresh salsa since that was available. I added more lime than called for at other members suggestion. It turned out beautifully and looked fancy. A keeper for those formal dinners were I'm trying to impress guests. - 2/4/08

    Spinach? Tomatoes? Parmesan cheese? I see broccoli, rice, & a bed of lettuce w/lemons on it. The picture says a 1000 words. It is how most people judge whether a recipe is good enough to eat. When the picture differs, it is hard to judge. Not rated as I have not tried it. - 7/21/12

    I made this receipe and liked it fairly well. I think next time I will use more lime juice & less cilantro. Also, I will add the tomatoes before cooking. - 8/9/07

    Found the talapia bland. But maybe because I used an Italian 2% 3 cheese blend instead of just parmesean. Also added the tomatoes & cheese for last 3 minutes. Also it took 10-12 min of broiling and my filets were small. - 2/4/09

    I enjoyed the flavor and the freshness of this recipe. I used fresh, raw spinach instead of cooked, too. Even my kids ages 6,4, and 2 liked it pretty well. Thanks for an easy and delicious recipe! - 3/7/07

    Easy and delicious. I have used this recipe with flounder and salmon as well as Tilapia. I seasoned with salt and pepper and used fresh garlic instead of powdered. Yum! - 1/22/10

    This is a nice, light dinner. I suggest serving it over brown rice, add a little more lime juice and cook the tomatoes first to enhance the flavors. - 3/20/07

    garlic was added and I used fresh spinach and also fresh basil. This is simple and a great basic recipe. You can use this base for almost any shellfish or seafood as well. What ever is on sale. Please use common sense when using any fish item/seafood or shell fish. - 8/18/09

    I loved this recipe, but my husband found it a little bland. Next time I'll use more lime juice as suggested. Also tastes good on catfish. - 6/6/07
