Ingredients 

1 lb skinless tilapia

2 Tbsp olive oil

½ small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp cumin

1 tsp garam marsala

½ tsp black pepper

1 (14.5oz) can diced, crushed, or puréed tomatoes*

2 c spinach, chopped


*Any of these forms of tomatoes will work. A puréed tomato will produce a saucier dish!

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook onions and garlic in oil until slightly softened.
  2. Add spices and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  3. Add tilapia to skillet. Use spatula to cover fish with tomato mixture. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 10-12 minutes or until tilapia reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
