Ingredients
  

  • -Spinach Artichoke Dip-
  • 1 fresh jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 2 cups nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz reduced fat cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese
  • 15 oz artichoke hearts drained and lightly chopped
  • 10 oz bag frozen spinach thawed and drained*
  • 3 garlic cloves diced
  • -Fish Fillets-
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cod fillets fresh or thawed
  • 7 Kalamata olives chopped

Instructions
 

  • -Artichoke Dip-
  • Add diced jalapeño to medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until fragrant and a bit softer in texture.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the pan. Cook until cheese has melted, stirring often.
  • Once everything has blended together and has become easier to stir, allow to slightly bubble for a few minutes then remove from heat and set aside.
  • -Cod-
  • Heat olive oil large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add cod to pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  • When cod is finished, remove and plate.
  • Now, take a spoonful (or as much as you’d like!) of the spinach artichoke spread and place it over the top of each cod.
  • Sprinkle kalamata olives over each piece of fish.
  • Serve with your favorite side.

Notes

*Make sure to squeeze out all the liquid before using. Doing it in sections will enable you to remove as much liquid as possible from the thawed spinach.
-Serving is 2, since we're using 2 pieces of fish. However, you will have extra spinach artichoke spread so you can easily double the amount of fish, or save it in the fridge for something else!
