28 ouncesdiced tomatoes - with their juice; see Ingredients Notes
2 - 15ouncecans cannelini beans - rinsed and drained
10ouncesfresh baby spinach leaves - washed and dried
salt and pepper - to taste
1.5poundsfirm white fish - 4 fillets patted dry and seasoned with salt (see notes) and pepper
fresh parsley and lemon to garnish
1lemon - juiced
Instructions
In a very large, deep skillet with a lid or a dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil. Add onion and 1 tsp. garlic. Saute until onion is translucent. Be careful to not burn the garlic.
Add crushed red pepper and rosemary. Stir.
Add diced tomatoes and cannelini beans. Stir. Cover the pan, and reduce heat to simmer while cooking the fish.
In a large saute pan on medium-high heat, add remaining tablespoon olive oil and the remaining teaspoon of garlic. Give it a good stir. When garlic is sizzling, add fish fillets to the pan.
After a couple of minutes, lift the edge of the fish. When the fish shows some browning, and beginning to become opaque white on the top, carefully turn the fish using a spatula.
While fish cooks on the second side, add fresh spinach to the bean and tomato mixture. Give it a good stir, and replace the lid. Turn off the heat. Allow the spinach to wilt. Check for seasoning. Stir to combine.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the cooked fish fillets.
To serve:
Divide the cannelini bean, tomato, spinach mixture among 4 plates or large shallow bowls. You need a little bit of a lip to confine the juices.
Top each with a fish fillet, and garnish with parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired.
Notes
I highly recommend really good tomatoes in this recipe. If you enjoy tomatoes, 28 ounces is great. If you're really not a fan, the smaller 14 ounces can is fine.
