Spinach and Cream Cheese Stuffed Tilapia image

I haven't made this recipe yet but am planning on making a few changes due to some situations in my life. I have A LOT of olive dip (green olives blended with cream cheese and garlic powder) and wanted to use it in a recipe. We'll see how it turns out. I'm planning on using fresh spinach also. Should be interesting! :)

Categories     Tilapia

Time 23m

Yield 4 filets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces tilapia fillets (or other fish)
4 ounces fat free cream cheese
0.5 (8 ounce) can spinach
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1/2 crushed garlic clove
4 Ritz crackers

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Blend the cream cheese and spinach in a large bowl.
  • Add the garlic, nutmeg, and salt
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray
  • Arrange the fillets on the pan and slice a slit down the fish.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto the fish, flattening it so that it seeps in the slit (this isnt' TRUE stuffed fish -- a lot will just be spooned over the top)
  • Sprinkle Ritz or bread crumbs over fish
  • Bake for 8 minutes until fish flakes with a fork.
  • *I didn't use all of the cream cheese mixture, so I recommend saving the left over and using it as a spinach dip! My husband loves it on wheat thins or chips! The recipe will actually be closer to 135 calories since you won't use all the mixture most likely.

I'm allergic to fish, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It was just as good!

I'm not a fan of cooked spinach, but I loved the spinach and cream cheese stuffing in this recipe. It was creamy and flavorful, and it didn't taste like spinach at all.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry. Maybe I overcooked it?

I didn't have any cream cheese on hand, so I used sour cream instead. It worked out just fine.

The spinach and cream cheese stuffing was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this recipe was great.
