Tilapia Feta Florentine - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 clove garlic, minced
    2 (9 ounce) bags fresh spinach
    1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
    2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
    1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/8 teaspoon white pepper
    1 pound tilapia fillets
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1 pinch paprika, or to taste
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to skillet; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and cooked down, 5 more minutes. Stir olives, feta cheese, lemon rind, salt, oregano, and white pepper into spinach. Cook until feta cheese has melted and flavors have blended, about 5 more minutes.
    Spread spinach mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange tilapia fillets over spinach mixture. Mix butter and lemon juice in a small bowl and drizzle over fish; sprinkle with paprika.
    Bake fish in the preheated oven until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, 20 to 25 minutes.
