Tilapia Fillets
Tomato Spinach Sauce
Method
Prepare Tilapia
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the Tilapia
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the tilapia fillets.
Roast the Tilapia
Place the seasoned tilapia fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Prepare Tomato Spinach Sauce
Heat Olive Oil
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add Tomatoes and Spinach
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and bring to a simmer. Add the fresh spinach, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serve
Plate the Dish
Once the tilapia is done, remove it from the oven and serve it on plates topped with the warm tomato spinach sauce.
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with additional spices or fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your oven roasted tilapia!
