If you can't find snapper, purchase another mild, firm white fish, such as cod or halibut. Serve alongside your favorite pasta tossed with pesto.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 1/2 cup spinach mixture)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 4 (6-ounce) snapper fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups diced plum tomato (about 6 tomatoes)
- 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
Preparation
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side. Remove fish from pan.
Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add tomato and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in wine; simmer 2 minutes. Add spinach to pan; cook for 1 minute or just until spinach wilts. Return fish to pan. Spoon tomato mixture over fish; cook 1 minute or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

This was delicious. I used haddock, which is a somewhat bland fish and this was great. I didn't have baby spinach, so tore up large spinach. Otherwise followed the directions almost exactly. Maybe a little more pepper and garlic next time, but thats the only change I would make.05/06/09

I give this 4 stars because it is a good, solid, nutritious recipe that tastes wonderful and is super easy and quick to make. I used tilapia instead of snapper, adding 1/4 tsp. of paprika to the salt/pepper rub in addition to using fresh garlic, of which I used 3 large cloves minced. I also added a little green onion to the garlic since they were going bad in my fridge and needed to be used. The result was a tasty dish, full of fresh flavor. Perhaps it was the paprika and fresh garlic but my roommates and I did not find this bland at all. Total time cooking was about 15 min. (prep and all). I will definitely make this again!03/16/09
