  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter, red bell pepper and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes.
  2. Add spinach season with a pinch of salt and pepper mix until the spinach wilts down.
  3. Add cream cheese, half & half and parmesan cheese mix well until cream cheese is melted and resembles creamed spinach.
  4. Heat a separate skillet on medium high heat, add remaining oil and butter.
  5. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place on the hot pan.
  6. Cook 6 minutes on first side and flip fish over and cook other side an additional 5 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
