Broiled Tilapia with Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach

Broiled Tilapia with Butternut Squash and Spinach

Serves 2
  • 2 Tilapia fillets
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 butternut squash (chopped into cubes)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • juice from half of a lemon
  • 1 tbs pine nuts
  • salt and pepper
Toss butternut squash and onion together in 1 tbs olive oil. Salt and pepper and place in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes until slightly crispy and soft.

Slice two slits into fillets and spread 1/2 tbs butter on each fillet. Sprinkle with salt, rosemary and cayenne and broil for 9 minutes.

Saute garlic in olive oil, add spinach and lemon juice and cook for 1 minute. Add pine nuts and cook for another 30 seconds until pine nuts begin to brown. Salt and pepper to taste.

Then plate! Butternut squash on the bottom, place fish on top of squash, and top with spinach. This is actually really easy to make, and has a great presentation!! You can look like a professional without breaking a sweat!

Happy Eating!
