Peach Lime Fish

I was going to make this recipe:

1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound tilapia fillets
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, mix the honey, lime juice, and garlic. Season tilapia with salt and pepper, place in the bowl, and marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven or until flaky.

But I didn't have any honey. I used peach preserves instead and it was delicious!
