Pan Seared Tilapia with Sautéed Spinach and Mango Chutney

Recipe by Chef Nick Wallace



INGREDIENTS

4 – 4 oz Tilapia fillets

1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

1 oz garlic powder

1 tbsp olive oil


DIRECTIONS

Rinse Tilapia fillets in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt, pepper and garlic.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the Tilapia fillets in the skillet and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with sautéed spinach and the mango chutney sauce.


Prep: 10 mins Cook: 8 mins 4 Servings

 

Sautéed Spinach


INGREDIENTS

2 large bunches of spinach, about 1 lb

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Salt to taste


DIRECTIONS

Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is just beginning to brown.


Add spinach to the skillet, packing it down to fit within the pan. Use a spatula to lift the spinach and turn it over in the pan so that you coat more of it with the olive oil and garlic. Turn the spinach mixture several times. Cover the pan and cook for 1 minute. Uncover and turn the spinach over again. Cover the pan and cook for several minutes or until the spinach is wilted.


Drain any excess liquid from the pan. Add a little more olive oil, sprinkle with salt to taste if you desire. Serve with the Tilapia.
