Spider's Stuffed Tilapia

This is a brand new recipe of mine that is a great light dish for warmer weather. I say this as an ever hopeful Chicagoan in April when we hope to any sign of Spring at all!

bullet6 Tilapia filets
bullet1 cup chopped raw spinach
bullet2 tsp butter
bullet1 clove garlic (chopped)
bullet1 can of fancy crab meat (drained)
bullet¼ cup of crumbled Feta cheese
bullet1 egg
bulletSalt
bulletBlack pepper
bullet2 tsp lemon juice
bullet3 Tbsp olive oil

Use a medium sized baking dish. Rub the bottom of the dish with a little oil. In a saucepan, sauté the garlic and spinach in the butter just until wilted. Then remove from heat. Let it cool slightly and put it all in a mixing bowl. Then add the crab meat, Feta, and egg. Mix toughly and drain any excess liquid.

Stuff each fillet with the mixture and close with toothpicks. Drizzle the top of each fillet with olive oil and lemon juice. Then sprinkle with salt and coarse black pepper. Bake at 300° for approximately 30 minutes. Serves 6.
