A delightful and healthy recipe for tilapia patties, enhanced with fresh spinach and herbs, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with greased foil.
Using greased foil prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Shred the tilapia into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tilapia is finely shredded for a uniform mixture.
Add the spinach, parsley, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, Dijon mustard, egg, and breadcrumbs to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into four equal patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
Bake the patties in the oven for 10 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the patties while broiling to prevent burning.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides or dipping sauce.
Garnish with a sprig of parsley for a touch of elegance.
