Ingredients:

Serving

9 1/2 oz skinless tilapia fillets, approx
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cups white wine
3 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp minced shallots
1 tbsp cream
6 oz unsalted butter
4 tbsp fresh basil , julienned
fresh spinach, 1 bag, washed, stemmed and patted dry
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
salt
4 oz unsalted butter

Directions:

For the sauce; combine the lime juice, wine, garlic and shallots in a wide pan, bring to a boil and reduce to 1/4 the volume.
Pour into a bowl and stir in the cream.
Whisk in the butter, 1 TBS at a time, until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the fresh basil and hold the sauce in a warm place until ready to serve.
For the spinach, slice the garlic into thin slivers.
Heat a large saute pan over medium heat for 30 seconds.
Add the butter and, when half of it has melted, add the garlic.
Cook, stirring constantly, for about 45 seconds or until the garlic is tender and fragrant.
Add the spinach leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
Use tongs or a spatula to stir the spinach so it cooks evenly.
Remove from heat when all spinach leaves have wilted, setting aside to keep warm while you cook the fish.
Divide the fillets into 4 pieces.
Sprinkle lightly with the salt, sugar, pepper and paprika.
Place a large non-stick skillet over high heat.
When hot add the oil and butter.
When the butter begins to melt, swirl to coat the pan.
Place the fish in the pan and cook for 5 minutes; turning gently until fish flakes easily, do not over cook.
To serve, place the spinach in an attractive mound on a heated plate, top with the fish fillets and spoon sauce over.
Serve at once!
