Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
- 4 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place each fish fillet flat on your work surface. Spread an even layer of the spinach mixture over each fillet.
Carefully roll up the fillets, starting from the narrow end, and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the rolled fish fillets seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and optional paprika for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish rolls from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks, if used, before serving.
Serve the Spinach Filled Fish Rolls warm, garnished with extra lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.
