Baked Tilapia with Quinoa and Spinach

Ingredients

• •4 fillets tilapia
• •1 cup quinoa
• •2 cups vegetable broth
• •6 cups fresh spinach
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •1 lemon
• •½ teaspoon salt
• •¼ teaspoon black pepper
• •½ teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F and bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan, then add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. 2Place tilapia fillets on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, then bake for 12-15 minutes until fish flakes easily.
3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. 4Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted; season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. 5Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork and divide among serving plates.
6. 6Top each plate with baked tilapia and sautéed spinach, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish and serve immediately.

💡 Cook quinoa before the tilapia goes into the oven if using the same meal timing; fish needs minutes, while raw quinoa needs far longer to become tender.
