Ingredients | Poach Fish Ala Florentine

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

⅛ teaspoon white pepper

1 pound tilapia fillets

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Directions

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

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.

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.

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

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.
