Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the tilapia fillets with paper towels. Set them aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to create a flavorful seasoning mixture for the fish.
Step 3
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each tilapia fillet and let them rest while preparing the spinach.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, a few handfuls at a time, and stir until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the cooked spinach from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
Step 6
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned tilapia fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Squeeze the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the cooked tilapia for a burst of freshness.
Step 8
Serve the tilapia fillets on top of the sautéed spinach and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired. Enjoy your Dill Tilapia and Spinach!
