Alaska Cod Florentine

Yield: 4 servings

Preparation Time: 10 min; Cook Time: 15 min

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive, canola, peanut or grapeseed oil, divided
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup crumbled bacon or 2 ounces pancetta
4 Alaska Cod fillets* (4 to 6 ounces each) fresh, thawed or frozen
1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 cup water
2 packages (6 to 7 ounces each) fresh baby spinach
1 can (4 ounce) pitted chopped black olives, drained or 2 Tablespoons prepared tapenade

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large, deep fry pan or stockpot over medium heat. Stir in garlic and bacon and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bacon from pan; hold aside.

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Cod fillets under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Brush both sides of fillets with remaining oil.

Place fillets in pan and cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking.

Turn fillets over and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Cover pan tightly and reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 2 to 5 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Remove fillets to platter; keep warm.

Add water, spinach and bacon to pot; cover and cook a few minutes, just until spinach is wilted. Stir to blend flavors and heat through.

To serve:
Portion about 1/2 cup spinach blend onto each plate. Top with a seafood fillet and 1 tablespoon olives or 1/2 tablespoon tapenade.

*Recipe variation:
Substitute Alaska Pollock or Sole for the Alaska Cod. Adjust cook time for fillet size if necessary.
