I found this recipe in my recent issue of Everyday Food. It was listed as a recipe for one person but I knew it would be easy to double it. I loved how fast the fish cooked. I made one changed. I didn’t use arugula but instead used spinach. I also didn’t steam the spinach because my husband won’t/doesn’t eat steamed leafy greens. I think if I make this again I will serve it with another side dish. We were both left feeling like we needed more to eat. I was thinking of making potatoes but I quickly saw how fast the fish was going to cook. Next time I will put it with some rice or another starch.
I tried to find this recipe on Martha Stewart’s website and couldn’t find it but after Googling it I found it on another website and the author doubled it already.
Enjoy!
