Baked Tilapia with Sauteed Spinach

This was a super fast and super satisfying meal. As you all ~~should~~ know by now, I love tilapia. It’s my favorite fish. I modified a weightwatchers.com recipe for the tilapia (only 3 PointsPlus per serving!) and just sauteed the spinach in some garlic and EVOO. Total prep and cooking time was 15 minutes flat, making this meal great for a busy weeknight!

Start by preheating your broiler to high…

Spray a roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Season both sides of your tilapia filets with s&p.

Place the fish in the pan.

Sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon onto the fish.

Place under the broiler until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the spinach.

Mince up 5 cloves of garlic.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Coat the bottom with EVOO.

Add the garlic, and saute until golden brown.

Add two bags of triple washed baby spinach. (It will look like way too much, but you’ll be shocked about how much it cooks down!)

Toss the spinach in the garlic oil.
Cook until wilted, stirring occasionally.

Season with s&p and stir before serving.

I placed my tilapia over the spinach. I also poured some of the cooking liquid from the fish to use a sauce. Be careful though if you do this…it was pretty lemony! I liked it, but if you’re not a huge lemon fan, skip this step.
