Tilapia with Lemon & Caper Sauce

It's funny how our taste buds change.  As a kid I absolutely detested fish - loved shellfish - but couldn't stomach any type of fish.  Nowadays there isn't a week that goes by without fish gracing the menu.

Fish is not only a great source of protein and very healthy for you, but it is also one of the quickest dishes to prepare. 

I've made this dish a few times now and still absolutely love it!

Enjoy!
