2 servings
Ingredients
½ tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1-5 ounce container baby spinach
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
½ lemon, juiced
¾ cup marinara sauce
2-6 ounce white fish filets (used Flounder; other options Cod, Tilapia, Halibut)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons capers
Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add spinach and mix with garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to wilt spinach.
- Add vinegar and lemon juice. Simmer for 1 minute to reduce liquid slightly.
- Add marinara sauce to the pan and stir to combine sauce. Place the fish filets on top of the sauce, nestle them slightly into the sauce. Season the filets with salt and pepper.
- Cover pan and cook for 4 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Turn filets, add 1 teaspoon of capers to each filet and cook uncovered for another 1 minute or until the fish is cooked through. Serve immediately. Can store leftovers for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator – would not suggest freezing this dish.
