This light, flavorful dish is perfect for busy women over 30 who want quick meals supporting skin health and energy. Paired with sautéed garlic spinach, it’s a nutrient-packed dinner ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

For the Garlic Spinach:

  • 6 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, garlic, Parmesan, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush tilapia fillets lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil and press breadcrumb mixture on top to form a crust.
  4. Place fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until fish flakes easily.
  5. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic slices and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  6. Add spinach, salt, and pepper, and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Serve tilapia fillets on a bed of garlic spinach with lemon juice drizzled on top.

Recommended Tools: Non-stick baking sheet for easy cleanup, and a quality cast iron skillet to sauté your garlic spinach perfectly.
