Stuffed Tilapia
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
  • 4 tilapia fillets, about 500 g
  • 4 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 125 g cream cheese at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 385 degrees F. Grease a baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Add the cream cheese, bread crumbs, parsley and paprika powder. Combine well and set aside.

Wash the tilapia fillets and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the stuffing on half of the each fillet.

Fold the other half over the stuffing.

Place the stuffed tilapias in the baking dish. Squeeze a lemon over them and drizzle with a little olive oil.

Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
