Tilapia, Spiced Lentil & Spinach Bowl
Uses: tilapia, green lentils, spinach, tomatoes, lemon
Ingredients:
- 1 tilapia fillet
- 3/4 cup cooked green lentils
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/4 cup grape tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Cook the lentils and season them while warm with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a little lemon juice.
- Season and cook the tilapia until fully cooked and flaky.
- Place spinach in a bowl and spoon the warm lentils over it so the spinach softens slightly.
- Top with tilapia and tomatoes.
- Finish with more lemon juice or a small spoonful of sour cream if desired.
Why it works: The lentils become the flavorful base of the bowl instead of a plain side, and the lemon ties the fish and greens together.
Optional: Add lime, hot sauce, or a fried egg if available.
