Tilapia En Croute

FEAR NOT!  This is SUPER SIMPLE!  Ok - this is one of my many experiments, so I haven't actually made it before.  My idea is to roast a tilapia fillet in puff pastry.  Usually we make fish tacos with tilapia, but we just had chicken tacos last night.  So: new idea for tilipia fillet please!  I intend to use one of the frozen sheets of puff pastry, easy peasy.  I also plan to do a quick saute of spinach in garlic with a splash of chicken broth to stuff inside the puff pastry with the fish.  En Croute sounds so fancy for a recipe made up on the fly, but that's what the french call the technique of baking anything wrapped in puff pastry, so who am I to argue? Here's how to make What's For DINNER:

Tilapia En Croute
1 sheet puff pastry
2 tilapia fillets
1/2 bag triple washed baby spinach
3 cloves garlic, smashed
slug of chicken stock
dribble olive oil
pat butter
salt&pep

Spinach Filling:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, dribble in a couple of drops of olive oil and pop in your garlic.  WATCH IT CAREFULLY SO IT DOESN'T BURN!  Salt, pepper, swirl, swirl.  Once the garlic starts to slightly color (about a minute, maybe less) pop in your spinach.  Fold your spinach over and over so it gets coated in the olive oil and gets to saute with the garlicky goodness.  Once the spinach has started to wilt, pour in your chicken stock - just enough to deglaze and give a little puddle to bubble the spinach in.  Once your stock has almost all evaporated - pop in your pat of butter.  This will make a little bit of sauce with the spinach and stock and keep the fish moist in the pastry.  Oh a spritz of lemon would be good here - but I just thought of that now... shame.  Try a squeeze of lemon if you have it.

Fish:
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.  Cut your sheet of pastry in half length-wise.  dribble with a couple of drops of olive oil.  Put your fillets on across the pastry, horizontal to the vertical length of the pastry.  See below.  Then spread half of the spinach on each and fold each end over.  Pop it into your hot oven for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.  ENJOY!  I should have made a pretty bed of greens - but I was too tired last night.
