Description
A delightful combination of seared white fish with creamy spinach, rich in flavor yet healthy and light.
Ingredients
- 2 white fish fillets (about 6 ounces each) – cod, halibut, or snapper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the fish fillets very dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the fish fillets seasoned side down into the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Gently flip the fish fillets and add minced garlic, fresh spinach, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet.
- Let the spinach wilt for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and heavy cream or half-and-half. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the sauce gently simmer.
- Cook the fish in the simmering sauce for another 3-5 minutes until opaque and flaky.
- Remove from heat and spoon the sauce over the fish, garnishing with fresh parsley or chives.
Notes
For best results, choose fillets of similar size and thickness for even cooking. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
