Fish with spinach and tomatoes

Fish with spinach and tomatoes is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines fresh vegetables with tender white fish. This recipe is perfect for a quick, healthy dinner that's full of flavor and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups white rice
300g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1.50 lb white fish
680g
2 tomatoes
260g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3 cups spinach
90g
3 shallots
150g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, add the rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
2. Prepare Ingredients:
- While the rice is cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves and shallots.
- Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
- Rinse and pat dry the spinach.
- Cut the white fish into serving portions, if needed.
3. Cook the Fish:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the white fish fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4. Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
- Stir in the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked fish to the skillet with the vegetables. Gently stir to combine and heat everything through, about 2 minutes.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the fish and vegetable mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fish and vegetable mixture over a bed of cooked white rice.
6. Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, firm white fish for the best flavor and texture.

- Feel free to substitute baby spinach for regular spinach if you prefer a more tender green.

- Using freshly squeezed lemon juice can enhance the overall brightness of the dish.

- Ensure you do not overcook the fish to maintain its tenderness and moisture.

Enjoy your delicious fish with spinach and tomatoes, served over a bed of fluffy white rice. This meal is not only quick and simple to make but is also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a wholesome dinner.
