We haven't had fish in a while, so we thought we would make this. It was quick, easy and delicious. We served it with garlic whipped mashed potatoes. We let the tilapia marinade in the sauce for about 30 minutes (mainly because we got distracted with children during that time). This recipe could be made with lemon just as well as lime, but we just did not have any lemon on hand. The carrots turned out really sweet and delicious, none were left for leftovers! We made this in a little dish because our oven broke and we only had our toaster oven to cook in for a while, but it turned out awesome!
