This is so good - I made it twice in a week! Layered asparagus spears on top of the flounder - so yummy!

i am trying to introduce fish into the family diet. I was looking for a different type of fish in the market, but came home with this instead. I didn't have the frozen spinach, but a bag of fresh. So we made the fish as directed, and made a spinach salad on the side! It was quick, simple, and every one cleaned their plates. Thanks for yet another simple meal!! :)

Very good, simple and easy. Definitely doesn't taste "healthy."

Thank you!

I did change it up a bit. First I used fresh halibut. I seasoned it and the spinach with salt and pepper.

The onions I sweated with garlic. For the topping I used fresh grated parmesan and Hot paprika for a kick!

Wonderful!

I loved this recipe because it's so healthy and yet doesnt take like it. It froze beautifully and was even better the next day.

Really good, but it's a little bland. Could be because I used No Salt added spinach. But it was very good.
