Invite the neighbors over! It's time to show of your halibut skillz. (Bet you didn't even know you had those, did you?)


  • 4 (4-ounce) halibut fillets
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag prewashed baby spinach leaves
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

2 Coat a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

3 Sprinkle both sides of the halibut fillets with ¼ teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.

4 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place fillets in hot oil and sear until browned well, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to prepared baking dish.

5 Add wine to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits. Boil for 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, oregano, remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and ½ teaspoon of the salt, stirring well to mix. Pour wine and lemon sauce over fish and bake for 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

6 While fish bakes, return skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, water, and remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer; add spinach in batches, and cook until just wilted and most of liquid is evaporated.

7 Divide spinach among 4 serving plates. Top each serving of spinach with a filet.

  • Spinach and other dark, leafy greens are a great source of folic acid, so eat up! Don't like to eat your spinach? Serve the fish over some cooked couscous and with a Greek salad on the side.
