The other night I made dinner using spinach and my favourite budget friendly fish…tilapia!
I mentioned a while back how I bought a huge tray of wild tilapia on sale and froze them individually in my freezer. They probably only cost me a couple of dollars per fillet!
Since tilapia is a bland fish I like to keep it spicy! If heat isn’t your thing, I still recommend some chili powder and lemon to pump up the taste. It absorbs flavour very well and is great grilled or pan fried.
I haven’t had sauteed spinach in a long time but I was craving somethin warm and comforting. I’ve been trying to eat more warm foods which feel good in my body and help my mood and digestion.
So using what I had in the fridge, I sauteed the spinach with some garlic, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and artichoke hearts. I was so happy with this flavour combo and loved the mediterranean feel of this whole meal! So satisfying, fast, cheap, and easy!
