NOTE: Use as much spinach as you can pack into your baking dish because spinach does shrink quite a bit.

1. First, pack spinach onto the bottom of a baking dish. Top with butter slices and layer the fish fillets over the top

    Do you cover the casserole with foil? Also, how many does this serve? Thx!

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hello Lily,
      no, do not cover the casserole with foil.
      It serves approximately 8.

    I was in a “what do I make for supper” slump, then saw this recipe! I had the fish and the spinach(frozen) so I saved it and made it for supper tonight. It was awesome! I didn’t put the Old Bay in, (hubby doesn’t like), didn’t have the Adobe Seasoning but put in a few spices that go into it. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!
