Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, softened cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Lay each fish fillet flat on a clean surface and spread a generous spoonful of the spinach-cream cheese mixture evenly across each one.
Roll each fillet up tightly from the narrow end and secure it with a toothpick to hold its shape.
Place the rolled fillets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish roll-ups from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish with your favorite side salad or steamed vegetables.
