Healthy Recipe to Try: Fish Florentine

One of my favorite sources for healthy meal recipes is the Skinnytaste blog.  The recipes are usually easy to make, delicious, and clean--my favorite!  Skinnytaste has such a following that they also have a Facebook community board (with tons of followers) where people post photos and comment on the recipes they've tried.  This recipe has to be in the top five most popular recipes--it's always mentioned!  

I've tried it several times and used both cod and halibut--both are good.  You need a heartier fish for this meal, and both varieties have a nice flavor.  This meal is easy to make and makes for a pretty presentation (you could even serve for company!).  Best of all, it tastes delicious--give it a try if you haven't already!

FISH FLORENTINE by Skinnytaste

​INGREDIENTS:

• 4 5 oz thick pieces of skinless white firm fish fillet (such as grouper, bass or halibut)
• 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salted butter
• 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 9 ounces fresh baby spinach, from two bags
• 2 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, I like Philadelphia
• ¼ cup half & half cream
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• kosher salt
• fresh black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

• In a large skillet over medium heat add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter, red bell pepper and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes.
• Add spinach season with a pinch of salt and pepper mix until the spinach wilts down.
• Add cream cheese, half & 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 and flip fish over and cook other side an additional 5 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
• Divide the spinach mixture on the bottom of each plate and top with piece of fish.
