Recipes from Mom: Tilapia and Spinach

This recipe is another one of my favorites from my mom. It is a great recipe because it is super easy, quick, and highly adaptable. You can create many variations of this dish based on what you have available in your kitchen. The recipe I am going to post is for tilapia, but it also works well with chicken, substituting orzo for meat, or a variety of vegetables and spices. Just make sure to adjust cook times accordingly.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
4 tilapia filets
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 cups fresh spinach leaves
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Cooking Instructions:

-In a 10 inch skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic.

-Add tilapia filets and red onion. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned; approximately 3 minutes per side.

-Add 1 tbsp of vinegar, then alternate adding spinach and the rest of the vinegar until spinach is wilted. (3-4 minutes.)

-Sprinkle with feta cheese while still hot, and serve.
