Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups frozen chopped spinach, about 2 packages (10 ounces each)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
  • 1 1/2 pounds haddock fillets
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
  • .
  • Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Preparation:

Cook frozen spinach in a small amount of boiling water with 1 teaspoon salt, for about 5 minutes. Drain well, squeezing out excess water.

In a medium skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium low heat. Add onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until onions are tender. Add spinach and nutmeg; cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

In a shallow, lightly buttered 2-quart casserole, arrange fish fillets in a single layer. Place a spoonfuls of spinach between haddock fillets.

Drain tomatoes; reserve juice, adding a little water, if necessary, to measure 1 cup. Place tomatoes around haddock fillets; sprinkle with herbs and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done.

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine; saute 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion until tender. Add 3/4 cup reserved tomato juice and bring to the boil. Stir cornstarch into remaining 1/4 cup tomato juice; stir into boiling mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until mixture returns to a boil. Pour sauce over haddock fillets.

SUPERB!November 15, 2008By dollylama2
"SO EASY! No Chopping, No Mincing, No Cutting! (I use Frozen Chopped Onions, always have on hand). I had to cut recipe in half, as I did not have enough haddock (and I am only one person), HOWEVER, recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of salt, NO WAY!!! Cut in half, that would be 1 teaspoon, I only used approx. 1/3 of that!!!!! I NEVER cook my veggies in salted water (I like to TASTE the spinach!). So I would recommend starting from that point, at least that is MY taste. I also increased the fresh ground nutmeg slightly (used almost 1/4 tsp. for HALF the recipe, again, to MY taste). This recipe was a nice change, beautiful presentation, restaurant quality one dish entree. Leftovers were just as great!"
