- 4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp ground white pepper
Prepare
- 3 lbs halibut, cut into 6 equal portions
- 5 cup fresh spinach, packed
- 1 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- Slice 1 large lemon
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large shallow dish or ziplock bag, soak the halibut pieces in the white wine for 1 hour. Remove the halibut from the wine and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Step 2.
While the halibut soaks, preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Bring a large pot of water to a steady boil. Submerge the spinach in the boiling water and blanch until the stems are no longer rigid, about 40 seconds. Drain the spinach and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well.
-
Step 4.
Stir 1 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, the sour cream, and the white pepper into the blanched spinach until well combined. Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Step 5.
Arrange the halibut pieces on top of the spinach mixture. Place a lemon slice on top of each piece of fish, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese.
-
Step 6.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the halibut, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with fresh parsley leaves just before serving.
