1
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
2
Season the Fish
Rub both sides of the tilapia fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the fillets.
3
Grill the Tilapia
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and cover to keep warm.
4
Saute the Spinach
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Serve
Place a portion of sautéed spinach on each plate and top with grilled tilapia. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice and serve immediately.
