Ingredients

Para el pescado

  • 2 pieces white fish filets whichever you prefer
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground oregano

For the sauce

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 100 ml white wine I used Chardonnay
  • 1/2 lemon sliced
  • Salt and pepper

For the sautéed spinach

  • 120 g baby spinach
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • chili flakes optional

Instructions

For the fish

  • Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Mix the flour with the paprika and oregano in a bowl and use it to cover the fish in a light layer.

For the sauce

  • Melt the butter along with the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. The olive oil keeps the butter from burning ;)
  • Once melted add the fish and let it cook approximately 2 minutes. Turn them over and let them cook for another 2 minutes. It should still feel tender, not tough.
  • Remove the fish from the pan and lay them on a dish with kitchen paper.
  • Add the wine to the pan as well as the lemon and let the sauce reduce until it thickens. Add salt and pepper.

For the sautéed spinach

  • Toast the sunflower seeds on a pan over medium heat. Remove them.
  • Now preheat the same pan to high heat and add the butter. Immediately add the spinach (throughly washed and dried) and salt . The salt should go into the pan with the spinach as it helps to keep it bright green.
  • Stir the spinach on the pan until wilted and remove. Mix about half the seeds into the spinach.
  • Place the spinach at the center of the dish and then the fish on top of them. Finish with the sauce, sunflower seeds and a few chili flakes if desired.
