  • 2 cups water
  • salt
  • 1 1/2 pound flounder or cod fillets
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach

  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • dash cayenne
  • 1 1/4 cups milk

Preparation:

In a large skillet, bring water to a boil; add salt. Add flounder and simmer in the water for 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish.

Cook frozen chopped spinach as directed on package; drain well. Place spinach in a shallow buttered baking dish; place fish on top of spinach. Melt butter; blend in flour and a dash of cayenne pepper. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly until a smooth paste has formed. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly.
