Method

  1. Mix the flour, polenta, orange zest and thyme leaves together with some seasoning. Dip the fillets in the beaten egg then roll in the polenta mix to coat. The fish can now be chilled for a few hours before you're ready to cook.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan until foaming, add the fillets and lower the heat. Cook for 3 mins on each side. Meanwhile, wilt the spinach in a large pan, drain off the excess water, season and divide between 4 plates. Serve with the fish fillet on top.

    Can you give us some ideas of a good sustainable white fish to use? I tried cobbler but it was a bit wet!

    I used cod in this recipe. Agree with 'is it worth waiting for?', dish was a bit bland. Hubby prefers fish in a sauce.

    This is the most BLAND meal I have ever eaten. We ended up smothering it in ketchup to give it flavour
