My review
Baked Tilapia with Arugula and Pecan Pesto
Another Black Swan
"Having lived in the culinary paradise known as Vietnam for a few years has inspired me to experiment with a variety of Asian fusion dishes; this is one of my favorites. Most of these ingredients are abundant in the US as well as in Vietnam. This unique pesto gives the Tilapia a tantalizing flavor. Hope you enjoy!"

20 minutes to bake a tilapia fillet is waaaay too long. Your fish will be overcooked. I recommend about 8 to 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven.

Served this to my in-laws who don't eat fish very often and they loved it. My husband gave it an "A" rating The pesto part could get a little strong on the garlic but we liked it that way.

This is good, but it seems to be missing something. Salt, maybe? I was hoping for a little more flavor. The arugula did end up tasting like spinach and it overpowered the other ingredients.

This was so good it inspired me to try growing arugula in my own garden!
