Tilapia Florentine

I know fish isn't very exciting, but this recipe seemed easy and tasty. And what's better for you than Omega-3 fatty acids and green leafy vegetables? Uh oh, that sounds awfully healthy. Let's get to the recipe:

Ingredients
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach
6 teaspoons canola oil, divided
4 tilapia fillets (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons garlic-herb seasoning blend
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
In a large nonstick skillet, cook spinach in 4 teaspoons oil until wilted; drain. Meanwhile, place tilapia in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with lime juice and remaining oil. Sprinkle with seasoning blend. In a small bowl, combine the egg, ricotta cheese and spinach; spoon over fillets. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Yield: 4 servings.

Verdict:

Yes, it's healthy, but it's also very tasty! I was surprised how quickly the fish cooked beneath all that spinach and cheese. Ok, so maybe with all the cheese it's not so healthy, but it's better than fish sticks out of the freezer, right?
