This easy Fish Florentine recipe, made with a pan seared firm white fish served on a creamy bed of spinach feels like something you would order out in a fancy restaurant!

PREP TIME: 5 minutes;  COOK TIME: 15 minutes;  TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

 

**INGREDIENTS:**

- 4 - 5 ounces thick pieces of skinless white firm fish fillet (such as grouper, bass or halibut)
- 1 tablespoon 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
- 1/4 cup half & half cream
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- kosher salt
- fresh black pepper

**INSTRUCTIONS:**

1. In a large skillet over medium heat add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon of butter, red bell pepper and garlic. Cook for about 4 minutes.
2. Add spinach. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the spinach wilts down.
3. Add cream cheese, half & half and parmesan cheese. Mix well until cream cheese is melted and resembles creamed spinach.
4. Heat a separate skillet on medium high heat. Add remaining oil and butter.
5. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place on the hot pan.
