Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the butter and tarragon until combined; set aside.
• Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Layer the vegetables in the center of each piece of foil, starting with the mushrooms, then the celery and scallions. Dot the vegetables with some of the herb butter (use about half) and season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Lay the tilapia fillets over the vegetables; dot with the remaining herb butter. Sprinkle each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Bring the foil ends together, fold over and crimp closed on all sides to make sealed packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the fish is cooked through but still moist, 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the packets from the oven and let sit 2 minutes before opening. Transfer the fish and vegetables to plates and drizzle with the cooking juices.

Steps:

• Prep the tilapia - Defrost in package, if necessary, rinse and place in glass or plastic bowl. Cover with milk and set aside for 30 minute to soak out as much of the strong flavor as possible - the milk will turn pink.
• Using a microplane, zest the lemon, removing as much as possible without getting any of the pith. Juice the lemon and set both the juice and zest aside.
• Preheat an electric skillet to 375°F.
• Remove the tilapia from the milk and discard the milk. Lightly bread the fish with the fish fry. Add a small amount of olive oil to the skillet and distribute evenly. Place the filets in the oil and fry until the fish is just flaky and the breading is a medium brown.
• While the fish is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. add the lemon zest and stir until combined. Whisk in the lemon juice until fully incorporated. You can add more fresh not-from-concentrate lemon juice to taste.

• Add the butter and, when half of it has melted, add the garlic.
• Cook, stirring constantly, for about 45 seconds or until the garlic is tender and fragrant.
• Add the spinach leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
• Use tongs or a spatula to stir the spinach so it cooks evenly.
• Remove from heat when all spinach leaves have wilted, setting aside to keep warm while you cook the fish.
• Divide the fillets into 4 pieces.
• Sprinkle lightly with the salt, sugar, pepper and paprika.
• Place a large non-stick skillet over high heat.
• When hot add the oil and butter.
