I happened to have all the ingredients (only 6oz of spinach and 1 cup of cream though) so tried this recipe. It was fabulous. The cream did not thicken up after 8 min. covered so I simmered it while the fish was under the broiler. All in all a company worthy dish.

I did this with canned salmon, and it turned out fairly well. I wasn't able to reserve any sauce, since the fish was mixed in with it, so there wasn't really a sense of a sauce on the finished dish. Also, I wilted the spinach slightly before layering it over the fish mixture, just for convenience in handling.

This was a fantastic dinner! I substituted the spinach with asparagus and served it over garlic red mashed potatoes. My husband was pleased, too.
