    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/2" slices on an angle.

    Coarsely chop spinach.

    Mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Carrots

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add 1/4 cup water, carrots, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and carrots are tender, 4-6 minutes.

    Uncover and add half the garlic (reserve remaining for sauce), brown sugar, red pepper flakes (to taste), 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and butter. Stir often until fragrant and garlic is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While carrots cook, continue recipe.

    Cook the Tilapia

    Pat tilapia dry and season flesh side with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add tilapia to hot pan and cook until fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer tilapia to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and return to medium heat.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, spinach, and remaining garlic to hot pan. Stir occasionally until spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes.

    Add cream cheese, grated cheese, 1 Tbsp. water, and a pinch of pepper. Stir constantly until combined, warmed through, and slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
