Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Tip the spinach into a large hot pan, shake in 1 tbsp water and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Squeeze out any liquid. Or, if you have a microwave, pierce both bags of spinach and cook them together on Medium (500W) for 3 minutes, until the spinach is just wilted - it's more convenient but takes a couple of minutes longer.
  2. Butter a baking dish and spread the spinach out on the bottom. Lay each plaice fillet out flat on a chopping board, skinned-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Roll each one up like a Swiss roll and arrange on the spinach.
  3. Spoon the sauce over the fish and spinach so they are well covered. Scatter over the almonds and bake for 20 minutes, until the fish is cooked and everything is golden and gently bubbling. Serve with boiled potatoes.

'This was quick and easy, but to make it really special I would make my own cheese sauce.'

    The taste of the fish with spinach and cheese sauce is absolutely fantastic. It's so quick to do although I made my own sauce. My husband who is a fan of plaice really enjoyed this dish even though I used frozen fish.

    I've used both a mushroom alfredo sauce and a sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce (as well as a plain one) and it's all worked wonderfully.

    Delicious. Didn't use the almonds as I don't like them. Has become a family favourite.
