I made this last night and it was big hit! I'm eating it again today for lunch and it really is good.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 4 Talapia filets (or any type of fish you like)
  
• 1/4 c. salad dressing, ranch, nonfat or lowfat
  
• 3 T. yogurt, plain, nonfat or lowfat
  
• 1 1/2 T. mustard
  
• 1/2 lb. spinach, fresh (I used a big bag of baby spinach)
  
• galic salt and various other spices to your liking (I used a little garlic and Emrils fish rub)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
   
2. Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels and arrange in glass baking dish.
   
3. Mix dressing, yogurt and mustard; spoon evenly over fish.
   
4. Spice the fish up, use your favorite seasonings, doesn't take much as the Salad Dressing and mustard have some spice in them. I like to sprinkle a little of Emeril's fish rub on mine, then maybe a shake or two of the garlic salt.
   
5. Bake until fish is no longer translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. (I cooked mine more like 15 - 20 min)
   
6. Remove tough stems from spinach; rinse thoroughly and drain. (I didn't have to do this as I bought the baby spinach in a bag)
   
7. Heat nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
   
8. When skillet is hot, add spinach and stir-fry just to wilt the leaves, about 30 seconds. (I also added a little pam butter flavored to the skilley to give it a little more flavor and seasoned the spinach with a squeeze of lemon and garlic salt)
   
9. Arrange spinach single layer on serving plates; top with baked fish.

Sunshine, any idea on how much Protein?

Thanks for asking that question. I updated the recipe, but normally 4 oz of fish have 20 grams of Protein. I used talapia - the 4 oz is raw of course, after you cook it, it usually reduces down to about 3 oz, but it is still 20 g of protein. yum!

Here's an easy one (sorry I don't have nutritional stats though):

Place catfish fillets in baking dish, squeeze on juice of 1-2 limes, sprinkle liberally with garlic powder and Zatarain's creole seasoning (it's the best!), and bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to spoon juices over each fillet when serving to make it extra tasty and moist.

Even friends who don't understand why you wouldn't just fry catfish love this one!
