Baked Fish With Spinach and Tomatoes

Kree's Note:

This came into my inbox today from About.com, and I just had to share it. It looks like an easy and healthy weeknight dinner. They recommend mopping up the juices with some whole grain bread. I think this might be even better with some spices sprinkled on top along with the cheese, maybe basil and oregano.

I loved this. My family was quite a bit hesitant as they normally only eat fish if it is breaded and deep fried. I made it as written but thought it could use more flavor, so next time I will try adding herbs, or maybe even some crushed red pepper flakes to kick it up a bit. The recipe wasn't clear on the type of cheese so I used some shredded mozzarella. Thank you for sharing!

Hubby LOVED this. It is a perfect light option for an everyday meal, but also has enough presentation to be perfect for company. I used petite diced tomatoes with garlic and herbs and topped with a little mozzarella cheese and a lot of fresh grated Parmesan. With a side of rice, some crusty bread, and a nice glass of white wine, it was a fabulous meal that will be repeated.
