Cook Time20 mins
Total Time30 mins
INGREDIENTS:
10 ounces spinach
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon avocado oil
12 caper berries, halved
1 pound halibut or any fresh, wild white fish
Flakey salt and pepper
1 teaspoon butter or vegan substitute
1 lemon, juice and zest
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Handful of microgreens
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Wash the spinach and remove stems. (Pro tip: use a salad spinner to help remove any excess water.)
3. Using a cast-iron skillet, heat half the olive oil with the avocado oil over medium heat.
5. Once the oils are hot, saute the caper berries for approximately 5 minutes.
6. Prep fish with oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
7. In the same skillet as the caper berries, add the butter and fish. Sear for approximately 2 minutes per side.
8. Squeeze half the lemon onto the white fish and place the cast-iron skillet into the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes.
9. While your fish is baking, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a new pan on medium-high heat.
10. Once the oil is warm, saute the garlic slices for approximately 1 minute, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
11. Add the prepared spinach to the pan, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, juice from the other lemon half, and the lemon zest. The spinach will seem like it’s about to overflow your pan but will quickly wilt down to a small amount. The process should only take a couple of minutes—be sure not to overcook. Spinach should be fully wilted but still a bright green.
12. Remove the fish from the oven. Plate the spinach and add the fish and caper berries on top.
14. Add microgreens for a final touch, and enjoy a simple, delicious, and healthy meal!
