Jalapeño Garlic Tilapia
This Jalapeño Garlic Tilapia is a restaurant remake from a chain restaurant I haven’t been to in almost 20 years. But the dish is one I remember loving so much that I had to make this Whole30 dupe. One bite of this creamy, luscious meal and I am transported instantly back to that time.
The dish is packed with veggie goodness, and the tilapia filets stay extra crispy even after being nestled back into the sauce. You’re going to want to try this and … if you know what restaurant serves the original … I think you’ll be impressed.

- Dredge the tilapia filets in the arrowroot flour, and shake off excess. Set aside.

- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add diced jalapeu00f1o and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. You might need to add spinach in batches.
- Once spinach is wilted, add half of the diced tomatoes, salt, pepper and cashew milk. Increase heat to medium and continue stirring until sauce begins to simmer and thicken. Add in lemon juice, stir to combine and nestle cooked tilapia filets back into the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet and heat until sauce begins to simmer and filets are reheated.
- Serve topped with reserved diced tomatoes and fresh-chopped parsley.
