Ingredients:
Instructions:
1.1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
1.2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
1.3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
1.4. Pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine.
1.5. Add the ground nutmeg, mix well, and cook for another 2 minutes.
1.6. Sprinkle in the flour gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
1.7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
2.1. Season the white fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2.2. In a separate large skillet, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
2.3. Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
2.4. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3.1. In the same skillet used for the fish, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
3.2. Once the butter has melted, add the halved cherry tomatoes and dried oregano.
3.3. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
3.4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4.1. On a serving platter, spread a layer of the creamed spinach.
4.2. Place the cooked fish fillets on top of the spinach.
4.3. Spoon the sautéed cherry tomatoes over the fish and spinach.
Tips:
- Pat the fish dry with paper towels before cooking to ensure it sears properly.
- Use fresh spinach for the creamed spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper as desired.
- Make sure not to overcook the fish; it should be flaky and moist.
- To save time, you can prepare the creamed spinach while cooking the fish.
- For a richer flavor, you can use a mix of butter and olive oil to cook the fish.
Cooking fish with creamed spinach and tomatoes combines wonderful flavors and textures into one delicious dish. The creamy spinach balances the light, flaky fish, while the cherry tomatoes add a pop of freshness. Follow these easy steps to create a meal that’s sure to impress.
