Re: (...)
Tonight we had Pan-Seared Five-Spice Tilapia with Hot Orange-Ginger Sauce and Mandarin Spinach Salad. This is a fun and very tasty dish to make. The rub adds a lot of flavor to the fish, but the sauce just puts it over the top. Really good, especially with the salad. We will definately make this again and gave it an 8+.

Now, I could
swear that I replied to this a short while ago...
MaryAnn, what a beautiful meal! I just can't get into five-spice powder. Was the star anise flavor very dominant?

That looks good. Is it in the most recent issue?

We didn't really think so, Vicci, but then that orange ginger sauce is so hot it probably covered it up. It really was tasty though and a nice "light" meal.
Jeanette, this was in the most current issue that I have which is issue 73.

Looks great, Maryann - I've not made anything from that issue as yet. Love 5 spice.

Thanks for the review, we love tilapia.
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Thank you Trixxee, I'm always self-conscious about posting my pictures. Never think the presentation looks nearly as good as some of the others on here. But, it was a nice meal and I wanted to let everyone know.

Oh pooh, Maryann - I'd sure order that dish from your restaurant.

Thanks Jean. I wouldn't have thought about it except my sweet adoring husband walked into the kitchen and asked me what happened to the pretty salad that had been sitting on his plate (that I had carefully arranged for the picture then remembered that I forgot the dressing)
