Method

  • step 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.

  • step 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.

  • step 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.

Made this for supper tonight, but used broccoli instead of spinach. I steamed the broccoli for a few minutes before adding it to the prepared dish. I also made my own cheese sauce. It’s a very easy recipe to pull together and the result is a very tasty dish. Will certainly be cooking this one again.…

So easy to make, but also very enjoyable to eat. Didn’t bother with the nuts as we didn’t have any in the cupboard.

Made this last night, instead of the spinach, don't like it, used leeks, which was lovely. Made my own cheese sauce, missed out the almonds, was really nice, would definitely make again.

This was a very quick and easy dish to make, even though I made my own sauce from scratch. I microwaved the spinach, so there was very little water to squeeze out, and the whole meal was prepared and on the table within 30 minutes. It was tasty and the fish and cheese sauce worked really well. …
