How to Make Baked Fish With Spinach

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 8 oz (227g) sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), 1/4 cup (30g) breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir until well combined.
  6. Add 10 oz (284g) thawed and drained spinach; gently mix, but do not cook the spinach.
  7. Spray a shallow 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  8. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  9. Arrange 1-1.5 lbs (454-680g) of your favorite fish fillets (e.g., sea bass) on top of the spinach.
  10. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup (57g) butter and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  11. Brush the fish generously with the lemon-butter mixture.
  12. Bake, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes per inch of fish thickness, basting several times with the remaining lemon butter. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  13. Remove from the oven and pour any remaining lemon butter over the fish.
  14. Serve immediately with rice.
