That recipe sounds great, Bettia. I love tilapia, but I'm pretty inept when it comes to preparing fish. I'll have to try your recipe for sure.

Chimayo Chile is a chile that members of my family make in New Mexico, any powdered chile will work but I favor this. If you would like to purchase Chimayo Chile you can do so at the following link, just copy and paste into your web browser:

quick and easy - i just made this for dinner in about 15 minutes since tilapia was on sale at the market.
classic but lower fat picata (no wine, flour, or butter)
1/2 TBS olive oil
1/2 TBS smart balance
2 TBS capers (as many as you like really)
juice of 1 lemon
parsley - as much as you like
i bake my fish in the oven in an aluminum pouch at 400 with minimal salt (capers are salty) and pepper, and cooking spray.
in sauté pan - sizzle up oil and butter, add capers, add fish, add lemon, add parsley.
delicious.

Did anyone else read the article out on Talapia? They say it is a terrible fish to eat, might as well eat a donut! I will try to locate it and post it.
****disclaimer....this is not me saying this, just an article I saw I believe on Yahoo. I would have to research it more before I swayed anyone away from Talapia.

Here is a cut and paste......there is more...
The American Heart Association tells us to eat fish twice a week in order to help keep our hearts healthy. This is because of the high Omega 3 fatty acid content in most fish. Tilapia is fish, so we should eat more, right? Wrong, a new study by researchers at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center (Chilton et al, 2008), suggests that farm-raised tilapia may be worse for your heart than eating bacon or a hamburger. Tilapia has gained popularity in recent years as people try to pay attention to Omega 3 fatty acids by eating fish regularly.
Because farm-raised tilapia is often one of the most affordable varieties of fish available at the supermarket, tilapia has increased in popularity as consumers try to merge healthy eating habits with shrinking grocery budgets. Tilapia is easy to raise on fish farms because they thrive under a variety of conditions. Tilapia also do very well on inexpensive foods. This may be the root of the problem. Often, farm-raised tilapia are fed corn-based foods that are high in harmful Omega 6 fatty acids and arachidonic acid. The tilapia stores these arachidonic and Omega 6 fatty acids in its tissues for you to eat when you buy them in a store.
Negative Health Effects of Eating Farm-Raised Tilapia
The study's senior author, Dr. Floyd Chilton, professor of physiology and pharmacology and director of the Wake Forest Center for Botanical Lipids, says, "A New England Journal of Medicine article three years ago said if you had heart disease and had a certain genetic makeup, and you ate arachidonic acid, the diameter of your coronary artery was smaller, a major risk factor for a heart attack." He also cited numerous animal studies showing that dietary arachidonic acid is directly linked to adverse health reactions.
