Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the white fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden but not cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the Italian seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the seared fish fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
