Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 5-ounce tilapia fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 5-ounce package baby spinach (about 8 cups)

Steps:

  • Pat the tilapia dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the flour on a plate; dredge the tilapia in the flour, tapping off the excess. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tilapia and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it starts browning, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, wine, and lemon zest and juice. Increase the heat to high, bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add the butter and whisk until slightly thickened, about 1 minute; stir in the parsley.
  • Meanwhile, toss the spinach with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a few grinds of pepper. Divide among plates, top with the fish and drizzle with some pan sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh tilapia fillets. Frozen tilapia can be used, but it will not have the same flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the tilapia fillets are patted dry before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the tilapia. This will prevent the fish from sticking and breaking.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet. If you are cooking multiple fillets, cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the tilapia immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This tilapia with garlic and lemon recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The fish is cooked to perfection and the garlic and lemon sauce is flavorful and tangy. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
