Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia)
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 as needed butter or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onion and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir the cherry tomatoes and dried oregano into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the tomatoes soften and begin to release their juices.
Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
Spread the tomato and spinach mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Place the seasoned fish fillets on top of the tomato and spinach mixture.
Sprinkle the paprika evenly over the fish fillets, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For a golden brown top, broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread if desired.
