Greek Tilapia over Wilted Spinach image

This would be a wonderful treat for any luncheon or special occasion dinner! Perfectly delicate and tender, tilapia prepared this way is likely to win over even the pickiest of eaters. (Just don't tell them it's spinach... That can be our little secret.)

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tilapia fillets (you can substitute haddock, cod or halibut)
8 sweet grape tomatoes, sliced
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp chopped fresh italian-leaf parsley
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 large shallots, diced
1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
8 oz baby spinach
1/3 c wisconsin feta cheese, keep 1 tbsp reserved for garnish
pinch fresh ground black pepper
pinch fresh ground sea salt
1 tsp fresh lemon zest pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350F. Place fillets and tomatoes in a glass baking dish. Sprinkle garlic and parsley over top and finish with lime juice. Cover with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • 2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute shallots in oil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and add spinach, cooking until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in feta and heat until melted and evenly distributed.
  • 3. To serve, place 3/4 cup spinach-feta mixture on each plate and lay 1 fillet over top, finishing with half of tomatoes. Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper, salt, a few pieces of fresh lemon zest and sprinkle on reserved feta.

I used frozen tilapia fillets for this recipe and they worked just fine. I thawed them out in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. The wilting process mellowed out the flavor and made it more palatable.

The tilapia was cooked perfectly - flaky and moist on the inside, with a crispy skin on the outside. I highly recommend this recipe!
