Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (9 ounce) bags fresh spinach
¼ cup sliced kalamata olives
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
½ teaspoon grated lemon rind
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
1 pound tilapia fillets
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to skillet; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and cooked down, 5 more minutes. Stir olives, feta cheese, lemon rind, salt, oregano, and white pepper into spinach. Cook until feta cheese has melted and flavors have blended, about 5 more minutes.
Spread spinach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange tilapia fillets over spinach mixture. Mix butter and lemon juice in a small bowl and drizzle over fish; sprinkle with paprika.
Bake fish in the preheated oven until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, 20 to 25 minutes.
