Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp lemon rind
  • 5 oz spinach
  • 0.25 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat tilapia dry, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Drizzle with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and arrange lemon slices over fillets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
  2. 2While fish bakes, heat remaining 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and Garlic-Infused Oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. 3In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Stir in lemon juice, grated lemon rind, low sodium chicken broth, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  4. 4Serve baked tilapia over wilted spinach, drizzled generously with the lemon butter sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and chives.
