Tilapia With White Beans and Spinach

StrikingEyes00's Note:

The first time I had this was at Houlihans. They have since discontinued the dinner, so I was in search of a great recipe. I found this on epicurious.com by doing a google search. I love this recipe and would recommend to anyone who loves an elegant tilapia dish. It's easy and impressive. This recipe can be easily doubled for a dinner party. I like to serve with crusty Italian bread and sometimes I'll serve it with rice on the side, too.

This dish was so delicious and very quick and easy. I accidentally bought frozen spinach instead of fresh but I thought it still turned out great. I also didn't use fresh lemons, but they would have made a nice presentation.I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting the recipe.
