Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°
Coat a baking dish with nonstick spray.

For the spinach, sauté shallots and garlic in 2 tsp oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until softened, 2 minutes. Add spinach; sauté until liquid evaporates, 1-2 minutes.

Whisk together cream and Dijon, stir into spinach. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook 1 minute more. Season spinach with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, remove from heat.

For the fish, combine bread crums, Parmesan, and zest; add 1 Tbsp oil and toss to coat. Place fish in prepared dish; squeeze on lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Top fish with spinach mixture; then with bread crumb mixture. Bake fish until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 145°, 12-15 minutes.
