p90x - Recipe - Dill Poached Fish with Shallots and Apricot Jam


Here is a p90x style recipe that I whipped up last night after my workout. Wow, was it excellent. Feel free to modify as needed. (image is not of following recipe)

Name: Poached Fish with Shallots & Dill

Stats: Serves 1
Protein: 2
Condiment: 1
Veg: 1

Ingredients:
6 oz fish fillet (I used flounder)
2 shallots
1 clove garlic
2 tbs apricot preserves (no sugar added)
vegetable or chicken broth (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

Instructions:
Dice 1 or 2 shallots and 1 or 2 cloves of garlic. Saute in a pan sprayed with cooking spray until they begin to get clear. Pour in a few tablespoons of organic chicken or vegetable broth if the pan begins to get too dry.

With a spatula, gather the shallots in the center of the pan in a flat layer. Place sprigs of dill over the bed of shallots. Place your fish fillet over top of this. Layer the top of the fish with a two tablespoons of apricot jam (no sugar added), and place additional dill over this.

Pour in additional broth, enough to allow the fish to poach without drying out.

Place a glass lid on the pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is done.

Gently remove the fish fillet and place on a plate. While the shallots & garlic are still in the pan, add 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves to the pan. Pour in additional broth if needed. Stir just long enough to wilt the leaves, then remove from heat and place the spinach & shallot mixture on your serving plate. Transfer the fish on top of the bed of spinach.

Enjoy!

Looking at the picture, it appears you are using scallions, not shallots. A good recipe none-the-less. Thanks.
