This was delicious and very simple. A friend brought me fresh halibut from Seattle, so I used this recipe. I had baby kale on hand instead of spinach, so I used that - it was wonderful! This is a winner! We will make again. Served with Near East Spanish rice and a salad.
Spanish-Style Halibut
Smoked paprika contrasts nicely with the sweet halibut. If you can't find fresh halibut fillets, substitute snapper or another firm white fish. Plate with herbed Israeli couscous.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and 1/2 cup spinach mixture)
