TILAPIA FLORENTINE WITH GREEN BEANS AND TOASTED ALMONDS



Tilapia Florentine With Green Beans and Toasted Almonds image

A typical Florentine is meat or fish served atop a bed of spinach. We wanted to make it more fun - or at least more tasty - so our spinach is freshened up with creamy ricotta, roasted shallots, and lemon zest. It's served over the flaky tilapia with a side of almond-tossed green beans and thyme-roasted tomatoes. Hello-ooooo, yum!

Provided by Chef Scott Gorsky

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Info 12 oz. Tilapia Fillets
5 oz. Green Beans
1 Lemon
3 oz. Thyme Sprigs
3 Parsley Sprigs
3 oz. Spinach
Info ¼ cup Ricotta Cheese
1 Shallot
Info ½ oz. Sliced Almonds
1 Roma Tomato

Steps:

  • Cooking Guidelines To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures: Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) | Seafood 145° F | Chicken 165° F | Ground Beef 160° F | Ground Turkey 165° F | Ground Pork 160° F 1 Prepare The Ingredients Throughly rinse produce and pat dry. Peel and mince shallot. Halve Roma tomato lengthwise. Trim ends from green beans. Stem thyme. Stem and mince parsley. Zest and halve lemon. Mince lemon zest. If you don't have a zester you can use a peeler to remove the outer zest of the lemon, avoiding the "pith", or white layer underneath the zest, as it carries a bitter flavor. 2 Prepare Spinach-Ricotta Mixture Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add shallot (to taste) and cook 1-2 minutes. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes, or until just wilted. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and blot with additional paper towels to remove excess liquid. Let spinach cool slightly. Chop cooled spinach and combine with ricotta and half the lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to plate. Wipe pan clean. 3 Cook the Roma Tomato Return pan to medium-high heat. Season cut side of tomatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp. fresh olive oil in pan used for spinach and add tomatoes cut-side down. Cook 2 minutes until browned. Flip and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Continue cooking 3-5 more minutes until beginning to soften. Transfer to a plate, wipe pan clean, and return to medium-high heat. 4 Cook the Tilapia Add 1 tsp. olive oil to pan. Blot tilapia dry with a paper towel and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook 3-4 minutes on first side until evenly browned. Flip carefully and cook on second side 5 more minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Transfer to plate with tomatoes. Wipe out pan and return to medium-high heat. 5 Cook the Green Beans Add 2 Tbsp. water, green beans and a pinch of salt to pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and steam green beans 2-3 minutes until vibrant green in color and tender. Drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil and toss with sliced almonds to warm through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 6 Plate the Dish Arrange green beans and roasted Roma tomatoes on a plate. Place tilapia in front and top with spinach-ricotta mixture. Garnish with remaining lemon zest, minced parsley, and half lemon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, fishy smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets thoroughly: Tilapia should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Do not overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will become wilted and mushy. Cook it just until it is wilted and tender.
  • Use good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese should be creamy and flavorful. Avoid feta cheese that is dry or crumbly.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately: Tilapia is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Tilapia feta florentine is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flaky tilapia, creamy feta cheese, and flavorful spinach, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
