Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces tilapia fillets
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups store-bought pesto sauce
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 piece egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the tilapia fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tilapia fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly. Flake the fish into large chunks and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal rectangles.
Spread 1-2 teaspoons of pesto sauce onto each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Divide the sautéed spinach, flaked tilapia, and shredded parmesan cheese evenly among the rectangles, placing the filling in the center of each piece of pastry.
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and decoration.
Place the strudels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These strudels are best enjoyed warm.
