This Creamy Baked Tilapia Casserole is layered over spinach and smothered in a creamy sauce that can be ready within 10 minutes once it hits the oven.

My friend Lilia shared this recipe and mentioned how it was liked by her family and relatives. Baked fish can be easily substituted in this recipe with the kind you like and as also the cheese blend, but I must say shredded Monterey jack melts beautifully.
Use as much spinach as you can pack into your baking dish because spinach does shrink quite a bit.

After all, this Baked Tilapia Recipe would not only work great for a company meal but can easily become one of those make-again dishes! Not into fish? Here is the creamy spinach chicken version!

Ingredients for baked tilapia:

• 5 tilapia fillets (1lb)
• 8 oz bag of fresh spinach
• 3 tbsp butter, sliced
• 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Ingredients to make sauce for baked tilapia:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp old bay seasoning
• 1/2 tsp adobo seasoning
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt

1. First, pack spinach onto the bottom of a baking dish. Top with butter slices and layer the fish fillets over the top

.

2. Then, combine the sauce ingredients and evenly spread over the top of the casserole. Finally, sprinkle with cheese and bake in a preheated to 500 degrees F oven for 10 minutes.

Note: The thicker the fish fillets the longer you may need to bake your fish.
