A delightful seafood dish combining seared white fish with a rich creamy spinach sauce, perfect for summer gatherings.
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

- Season both sides of the fish with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully place the fish fillets, seasoned side down, into the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them.
- Gently flip the fish fillets. Add the minced garlic, fresh spinach, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet around the fish.
- Let the spinach wilt for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and the heavy cream, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
