ReplyDeleteThanks to YOU for making it, it was deeeelish!
ReplyDeleteSalams Raghad, Would it matter if its Tilapia or Salmon?
ReplyDeleteNo, it shouldn't make a difference, just adjust the cooking time because Tilapia fillets cook very fast.
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight using fresh tomatoes and omitting the garlic, we loved it! The salsa is so yummy, I had some extra so I threw it into our dinner salad and the cilantro provided an extra kick of flavor. Cooks very fast and is so easy to assemble. I made it and let it marinate for about an hour before I baked it
