Make extra lemon-herb butter. It’s delicious tossed with steamed green beans or hot cooked rice or pasta.
Butter Sauce
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon prepared basil pesto
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Fish
2 (6-ounce) skinless haddock, halibut, or cod fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup rice or all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, cooked
Directions
Combine the ingredients for the butter sauce in a small bowl, stirring until well blended. Set aside
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and shake off any excess.
Add fillets to pan; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Divide the spinach evenly between two dinner plates. Place a piece of fish on top of the spinach. Spread each fish fillet with basil butter mixture.

The herbed butter sauce sounds wonderful Jovina! My mind is immediately thinking of other combinations, but this one looks pretty perfect!

Jovina, What role would the rice play in this recipe?
Jovina Coughlin
it is rice flour. I like to use it in place of all purpose. Makes a crispy crust.
