About

Don't let the name intimidate you; Tilapia Florentine is ready in 30 minutes and is a breeze to make! Heart-healthy tilapia is drizzled with tangy lemon juice and enriching canola oil. Delicious garlic-herb seasoning coats the flakey fish, and a cheesy ricotta and spinach mix melts to perfection over the top. Served with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a lemon wedge, you could say making Tilapia Florentine is easy-peasy lemon squeezy.
