Instructions

To Make Lemon Herb Butter Sauce:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, white wine, and clam juice and cook for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and parsley and cook for an additional 8—10 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Add a ½ tsp of salt and pepper to taste.

To Prepare Meal:

Cook fish per package instructions.

While fish is cooking, heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute, until slightly toasted. Place the spinach in the skillet, add salt and pepper to taste, and continue sautéing for 2 minutes, or until nicely wilted.

Pour part of Lemon Herb Butter Sauce into skillet (reserve some sauce for final drizzle), and toss to evenly coat, about 1 minute.

Divide spinach between two plates, add flounder and drizzle remaining sauce over fish. Enjoy!
