Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 pinch paprika, or to taste
• ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• 2 (9 ounce) bags fresh spinach
• ½ teaspoon grated lemon rind

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

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