Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and half the garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Roast tilapia
2
  • Meanwhile, pat tilapia dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add tilapia. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
3
  • While the tilapia roasts, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place spinach in a bowl, then roughly chop using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors!)
Cook peppers
4
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender. Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
  • Transfer to a plate.
Make sauce
5
  • Reduce heat of the same pan to low.
  • Add sun-dried tomato pesto, cream and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add spinach. Stir for 30 sec, until spinach wilts slightly.
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt.
  • Divide rice between plates. Top with peppers and tilapia.
  • Spoon florentine sauce over tilapia.
