Lemon Caper Tilapia Packets

Tilapia has to be one of the mildest fish out there. And it’s a staple here in our house. Remember my post with Anderson Seafoods? Well it helped us really shoot for our goal to try and eat fish more often at least once a week. Although our budget doesn’t always agree, we’ve made do. My Mom and Aunt came across this recipe a long time ago and I’ve tweaked it somewhat and I will say it changes every time I make it depending on what we feel like and what we have on hand. I hope that you enjoy it as well!
