Number Of Ingredients 9

2 halibut fillets (about 5 ounces each)
Salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 slices whole-grain bread or 2 chunks whole-grain baguette

Steps:

Season the halibut with salt and pepper. Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the fish; cook for 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the oil, tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Arrange the spinach on 2 serving plates; top with the fish. Spoon the sauce over the halibut and garnish with the parsley. Serve with the bread.
