Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 1 serving

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz. fresh spinach leaves
  • Butter
  • 5-6 oz. filet of tilapia or other mild white fish
  • 1 t champagne vinegar
  • nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Chop spinach coarsely, and remove root ends and, if desired, stems. (These were tender enough to keep.) Wash carefully to remove sand, then dry.
  • Melt a little butter in a pan, Add the spinach, and stir lightly until is starts to soften and shrink a little. Push it to the side.
  • Add more butter if needed. Place the filets in the pan. Cook about 2-3 minutes, until the outside facing the pan is cooked but the center is still uncooked, turn over. Cook another 3-6 minutes, or as needed to cook through - be careful not to overcook.
  • While fish is cooking, stir spinach occasionally. Remove from pan when done to taste. Remove fish when done.
  • Add vinegar to pan and deglaze. Pour over fish.
  • Grate nutmeg over fish and spinach.
  • Serve at once.

Notes

This is a single serving - it can be increased, or can be made one serving at a time if people are not eating at the same time.
