Recipe Introduction

Low carb and delicious!

List of Ingredients

2 lbs. cod fish
2 lbs. chopped spinach
1-1/2 cups dairy butter, melted & divided
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
salt/pepper to taste
natural unblanched almond meal for 'crumb' topping
1/2 cup sliced scallions for garnish
lemon wedges or twists of lemon for garnish


Recipe

Preheat oven to 400F (200C)

Place 1/2 cup melted butter in baking dish. Taking each piece of fish, turn it over & around in the butter to coat. Season lightly; bake for about ten minutes.

While the fish is baking, combine lemon juice, wine & 1/2 cup butter, heat to boiling, lower heat a bit and reduce the sauce by about half or a little more.

Using remaining 1/2 cup butter, saute the spinach slightly; do not overcook.

After ten minutes, remove fish from oven; pour the sauce evenly over fish and bake ten more minutes, or until it's opaque & flakes with a fork.

Place buttered spinach on a large platter; arrange fish pieces on spinach & sprinkle with almond meal. Collect whatever sauce remains in the baking pan; pour over all. Scatter sliced scallions over all and garnish with lemon twists or wedges.
