Margarine
Frozen, boneless fish fillets (I prefer a white fish, but you can try whatever you like)
Frozen Spinach
Grated Parmesan Cheese (out of the jar)
Shredded cheese of your choice of flavor (I like the Mexican blend or anything with Colby in it.)
Cajun seasoning
Dried Parsley Flakes
(You could switch out any of these seasonings for what you have or what you like. Garlic, onion flakes, oregano, lemon pepper (that one is especially nice)...the possibilities are endless!)
Now, I cook ours in a glass pie dish. I like how it cooks, and the small amount we need fits just right. You can increase or decrease accordingly. :) I start off by greasing the pan with margarine. (You can use cooking spray.) Then, I sprinkle a good amount of still frozen spinach in the bottom of the pan, covering it if I have enough. Sprinkle a little of the Parmesan cheese over it, but not too much. Parmesan is very salty! Then, in a small bowl, I combine about a half a stick of margarine and a few good sprinkles of my Cajun seasoning and parsley flakes. (Again, you could use a little olive oil or cooking spray in place of the margarine.) I leave my fish frozen, and then smear the seasoned butter over the fillets. Place them over the spinach. I usually cook 5 fillets, so that we can have leftovers. If you have any of the seasoned margarine left, sprinkle it over the spinach. Sprinkle just a little Parmesan over the fish...Again, not too much. It will be too salty to eat. Cover the dish with tin foil, and bake in the oven on 350*. I don't time anything. I go by the smell test, lol. If it smells done, I check on it, lol. When the fish is translucent and beginning to fall apart, take the tin foil off, and cover the fish with your shredded cheese. You may want to take a fork and pull the spinach up underneath the edges of the fish to help keep it moist. Put it back in the oven, and bake until bubbly and golden, brown. Let it sit just a minute before you plate it. It holds in the juices and firms the fish back up so you can plate it a little easier. We absolutely LOVE this dish. I hope you do too! Happy Cooking! :D
