directions

  • Dredge the tilapia filets in the flour, and add them with the melted margarine and garlic to a medium temperature sauté pan.
  • Once the tilapia has finished cooking on one side, flip them over and add the jalapenos, spinach, salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
  • Prepare the angel hair in boiling water, and allow it to cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the temperature of the water.
  • As the filets begin to flake, add the heavy cream, and bring it to a slight boil.
  • Once the cream begins to boil, remove the pan from the fire and reduce the lemon butter into the sauce.
  • Place the pasta in a bowl, and pour the fish with the sauce over the pasta.
  • Garnish with fresh roma tomatoes and parsley.

  1. I don't usually like fish, but this recipe was delicious! I did use less lemon butter to cut calories, but I recommend more tomatoes and more spinach.
     
  2. This was great! Easy and absolutely delicious.
     
  3. This was a really great recipe! We have never had the dish at Carino's so I can't compare it though. I followed the recipe exactly except for cutting the amount of jalepenos in half because I'm not a huge fan. For the lemon butter, I used the recipe posted by MissAli and it was easy and yummy! Next time, I'll increase the sauce amount and add more spinache!
     
  4. I made this for my wife and she RAVED about it. Said it was exactly like the restaurant's but I needed to use a little less lemon.
     
  5. GREAT Recipe. We loved it! The only thing I changed is I replaced the wine with a Bud Light because that's what I had! (I guess you know your a redneck if...)

Tweaks

  1. This was amazing! I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this one deserves one. I doubled it and substituted canned coconut milk for the heavy cream due to a dairy allergy in the family. It turned out SO good. I wasn't sure how the coconut milk would affect the taste, but it was still delish!

<p>I'm a Texas transplant, new to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My two little ones and i enjoy organic gardening and seafood, so it's perfect for us here. One thing I do miss about Texas is the MEXICAN FOOD! But I love to cook and the Zaar has come in quite handy for cravings!</p>
