Ingredients

serves 4

　　1 teaspoon olive oil

　　1 shallot, minced

　　3/4 pound spinach, stems removed

　　Pinch of coarse salt

　　Freshly ground pepper

　　1 large lemon, washed

　　1 tablespoon finely chopped almonds

　　1 tablespoon mixed finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chervil, parsley, chives, and tarragon

　　4 fillets (4 ounces each) gray sole, lemon sole, or flounder

　　1/4 cup dry white wine

　　

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F, with the rack in the center. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over low heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 2 minutes. Raise heat to medium; add spinach and salt, and season with pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander, pressing down to remove liquid. Chop finely; squeeze out remaining liquid. Divide the spinach into 4 equal parts.

　　

Step 2

Slice the lemon in half crosswise; grate the zest of half, and combine with the almonds and herbs in a small bowl; set aside. Slice the other lemon half very thinly into rounds.

　　

Step 3

Lay the fillets flat on a work surface, prettiest side down; place 1 part spinach at the narrow end of each. Roll the fish into a cylinder, enclosing the spinach. Place in a gratin dish, with lemon rounds in between. Pour the wine into the dish. Sprinkle one-quarter of the almond mixture on top of each roll; cover with parchment and then aluminum foil. Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
