Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 (9 ounce) bags fresh spinach

  • ¼ cup sliced kalamata olives

  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

  • ½ teaspoon grated lemon rind

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • teaspoon white pepper

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to skillet; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and cooked down, 5 more minutes. Stir olives, feta cheese, lemon rind, salt, oregano, and white pepper into spinach. Cook until feta cheese has melted and flavors have blended, about 5 more minutes.

  3. Spread spinach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange tilapia fillets over spinach mixture. Mix butter and lemon juice in a small bowl and drizzle over fish; sprinkle with paprika.

  4. Bake fish in the preheated oven until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, 20 to 25 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Doubling the recipe serves 6 to 8 comfortably and bakes in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish perfectly. These amounts work for 3 or 4 pieces of fish. The spinach really cooks down.
