Spicy Tilapia Fillet with Steamed Spinach and Brown Rice
Enjoy a vibrant take on tilapia with a Nigerian-inspired spicy kick, paired with tender steamed spinach and nutty brown rice. This dish balances heat and wholesome flavors for a satisfying, clean dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia Fillet
2 cups Fresh Spinach
0.75 cup Brown Rice (cooked)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 small Nigerian Chili Pepper
1 tbsp Lime Juice
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions until fully cooked and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, finely chopped Nigerian chili pepper, and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Pat the tilapia fillet dry and brush both sides with the prepared spicy marinade. Let sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the tilapia fillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, steam the spinach lightly until wilted but still vibrant in color, about 2-3 minutes.
Plate the tilapia alongside the steamed spinach and a serving of brown rice. Optionally, drizzle any remaining marinade over the fish for an extra flavor boost.
Enjoy your Nigerian-inspired spicy tilapia dinner while it’s warm.
