Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish filets (such as tilapia, cod, or sole)
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 pieces toothpicks or kitchen twine (for securing filets)
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Lay the fish filets flat on a clean surface. Place an equal amount of the spinach and feta mixture on one end of each filet.
Carefully roll each filet around the filling and secure the seam with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
Place the stuffed filets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the fresh lemon juice evenly over the filets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove toothpicks or kitchen twine before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
