I love quick and bright meals like this one-skillet wonder. The way it tastes, you'd think it takes a lot more effort, but it goes from prep to dinner table in half an hour. The recipe works well with any light fish, or even shrimp. -Tammy Brownlow, Dallas, Texas

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The fish was cooked evenly and the zucchini noodles were a tasty and healthy addition. I will be making this recipe again soon.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The tilapia was moist and flavorful, and the zucchini noodles were a nice change from regular pasta. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This blackened tilapia with zucchini noodles was absolutely delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly and the zucchini noodles were a great healthy substitute for pasta. I will definitely be making this dish again.
