Tilapia Bake With Fresh Spinach

Baked Tilapia With Fresh Spinach

Diana Rattray
Serve this easy and tasty baked tilapia dish with a rice pilaf or baked potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 tilapia filets
  • cooking spray
  • 8 to 12 ounces baby spinach, cleaned
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper
  • Creole seasoning blend
  • 1 small tomato, chopped
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced

Preparation:

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and add the spinach. If necessary to make the spinach fit it into the baking dish, steam or saute the spinach for a minute or two to wilt slightly.

Sprinkle spinach with salt and pepper and onion powder; add the chicken broth. Sprinkle tilapia filets lightly with salt, pepper, and Creole seasonings. Arrange the filets over the spinach and sprinkle with chopped tomato and sliced green onion. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serves 4.

Great dish for a lover of fish!, Member heatherkristinecajuncutie

This is a delicious dish...very flavorful, and great over just plain old white rice, which is how we all do it in the south. However, I have read all of the reviews and based on all of them I am wondering if some of you are perhaps not from the south as am I?? Now, I am assuming on this one, so I really wish Ms. Rattray would correct this recipe for us all. When she talks about the ""CREOLE SEASONING BLEND"" I took this to mean a blend of onions, garlic, parsley, peppers, celery, and green onion that is already chopped up for you, placed into a plastic tub in the produce section and you can purchase at MOST grocery stores here in the south. Now I assumed this is what she meant, because, well, that is the EXACT name for the stuff...""Guidry's Creole Seasoning Blend."" THAT is what I used. If she meant the spices, I would have assumed she would have said...but the instructions were unclear, so...??? Anyone else do the same as I and use the chopped veggies?? All I know is that mine came out wonderful and I urge you to look for the product I am talking about. It makes the dish fantastic!!
