Easy trout and spinach bake

4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1packSpinach; chopped
poundsLake Trout fillet: cut into 4 portions
1canCream soup; chicken, celery or mushroom
1pinchEach nutmeg, cayenne and black pepper
4ouncesCheddar or Swiss cheese; grated

Directions

Make a bed of the chopped spinach in a greased 8 x 8" baking dish.

Lay the fish on top of the spinach and pour undiluted soup over the top. Sprinkle the spices and then the cheese on top of the soup. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

Kind of a fast, easy, down and dirty Florentine style dish.

This gets a bit better if you pan fry the trout until browned and then place it on the spinach. Put it in the oven for about 20 min and then use the broiler to brown the cheese.
