This is the finale to the Balsamic Butter Sauce meal. Why call it a meal based on that? Well, because I covered every single thing on my plate with this lovely Balsamic Butter Sauce right before serving the meal. Yes, it really was that good.
The original recipe called for tilapia. However, we are huge fans of ono lately, so I used that instead. It was very good. I think in this instance though, the tilapia might have been even better.
My husband insists that it was perfect as is, but I’m still thinking that tilapia would have been better. A more delicate fish might have been even more perfect with that amazing sauce. And this meal was most definitely all about the sauce!

That looks good! I love tilapia and what's great is that my 2 year old loves it too. I only have 2 recipes on tilapia, so I'm definitely adding this one.

Thanks Mary, I'm always looking for easy new ways to serve fish, and this is new to me. Tilapia is an under-appreciated fish, in my opinion, I can't wait to make this.
