Pecan Tilapia Recipe
Tilapia With Spinach Pecan Pesto
Easy spinach pesto tops tilapia slices. Serve this easy baked tilapia with hot cooked rice or pasta.
INGREDIENTS:
Pesto:
3 cups baby spinach leaves, packed, about 3 ounces
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pecan halves
1/3 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
2 medium cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Tilapia:
2 to 3 cups baby spinach leaves packed
8 tilapia fillets
salt and freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION:
Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Heat oven to 400°.
In a food processor, pulse the 3 cups of spinach leaves, 1/4 cup olive oil, pecan halves, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the mixture is a fine consistency.
Arrange remaining spinach leaves over the bottom of the baking dish.
Place a tilapia fillet on the bed of spinach and put about 1 tablespoon of the pesto mixture on the fillet. Spread lightly to cover most of the fillet. Repeat with remaining fillets and pesto, overlapping fish slightly as needed. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tilapia flakes easily with a fork.
Serve with hot cooked rice or pasta.
Serves 4.
