Ingredients

  • 2 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (fresh preferred)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 lb tilapia filets

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


  2. In a food processor add garlic and walnuts and pulse. Then add in the spinach, salt, cheese and olive oil. Process until it all comest together.


  3. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and lay out your tilapia filets. Take a paper towel and dry off the filets. Spread the pesto over the filets. I only used half of the pesto to make 4 filets.

  4. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Then set under the broiler for 3 minutes or until bubbly and a little browned.

  5. Serve immediately.
