04/15/2019 We substituted mixed chopped green and kalamata olives for capers and it turned out great.

08/24/2016 Excellent. One of the best and tastiest fish recipes I have encountered in a long time. One slight adaptation: instead of 1/4 cup water I add half water and half dry white wine. Makes it even better. Has become a regular for us.

07/11/2016 Highly recommend! My teen and I loved this recipe. The cooked arugula was great, loses its peppery flavor I think. Instead of water, I used canned chicken broth and lawrys garlic parsley salt instead of regular salt. I also added some extra chicken broth at the end to make more of a sauce.

03/19/2016 This is lovely and it is less than 10 minutes to make it. I did not have arugula or cherry tomato so I used spinach and I sliced regular tomato instead. I also added fresh basil. I will be making this on a regular basis now with any mild white fish like tilapia.

04/15/2014 I really enjoyed this! The flavours just worked - butter and lemon is always delicious but paired with capers and red pepper flakes, it was unique and really delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

02/16/2014 The video was very helpful. I LOVED Sarah's enthusiasm and how she explained the importance of each step (which I always find useful). I am a beginner cook and this recipe was not just simple but declicious and healthy! Thank you!

01/30/2013 Awesome dish! I used spinach instead of arugula and it came out superb. It's light, healthy, full of flavor and easy to make. You couldn't ask for any better. The sauce holds the key to the flavor. I used a little more lemon juice than butter, but that's just my preference. I highly recommend it.

06/27/2012 I thought this was extremely delicious and extremely fast and easy! I was feeding 4 people and everyone loved it. Not a big deal to do two batches. I just loaded up the pan twice. I will definitely make this again and again.

06/25/2012 This was extremely fast, lite and easy to make. I won't make it again however. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough to make again. Also note that this recipe is for a single serving and to adjust accordingly.

03/14/2011 Mmmmmm, the capers and lemon juice pack a real flavor punch to normally bland tilapia. This is super easy, very refreshing, and delicious.

08/25/2010 I was really apprehensive about this meal. For some reason I didn't think it would turn out good, but I was wrong. It was REALLY easy, and really quick, and quite good and fresh tasting. We had it with a side of mushroom risotto and really liked it. I will make this again.

04/12/2010 This was really good and easy. I sauteed the tomato with a clove of garlic, then added the water with a little white wine. I used spinach too vs. arugula. Really good and really quick.

08/18/2009 Simple. Ok. Add other seasonings on the fish for more flavor.

01/12/2009 I used sole rather than tilapia, and mixed baby greens instead of arugula. It turned out fantastic, and was super simple to make. I would guess the arugula would make it out of this world, but unfortunately, I was out.
