Very tasty, if you don't care for the spicy foods, cut back on the cayenne. Enjoyed it alot and will make again

Whew this one was spicy! I doubled the recipe since i had 4 7oz filets, but next time i wont double the chili pepper and cayenne. The seasoning was still excellent, once my mouth acclimated to the burning spice level! I definitely recommend it to those who love heavy seasoning.

This is very similar to the spices I use when blackening fish, without all the fuss, mess and smoke in the kitchen! We like spicy, and this was. I made the recipe as written, and it turned out very good. I think next time though,I will drizzle a little of the melted butter/lemon over the fillets before cooking, as the thinner parts of the fish came out just a tad dry. Very good none the less. It was quick an easy. I served it with a spicy rice and beans dish and sauteed zucchini, onions and tomatoes. Next time I'll make some cornbread too!Thanks!

Very good recipe, and very tasty. The tilapia itself is a softer fish, so if it's baked just long enough, the batter gives it a slight crust. I don't mind spicy foods at all, but thought it was going to be too spicy for my wife as written. However, I went ahead and made it to recipe anyway, and it turned out fine.
