Ingredients • 4 - 5oz. thick pieces of skinless white firm fish fillet (I use grouper) • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil • 1 Tbsp butter • 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 9 oz. fresh baby spinach • 2 oz. reduced fat cream cheese • ¼ cup half-and-half cream • 3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• In a large skillet, over medium heat, add ½ Tbsp olive oil and ½ Tbsp butter, red bell pepper, and garlic and cook for 4 minutes. • Add spinach, season with salt and pepper; cook until the spinach wilts down. • Add cream cheese, half-and-half, and parmesan cheese; mix well until cream cheese is melted and resembles creamed spinach. • Heat a separate skillet on medium high heat; add remaining oil and butter. • Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place on the hot pan. • Cook 6 minutes on first side, flip fish over, and cook on the other side an additional 5 minutes until cooked thru and browned. • Divide the spinach mixture on the bottom of each plate and top with a piece of fish.
• Salt and pepper, to taste
