Pan Seared Fish with Bacon Gravy & Spinach Rice

By

This is the complete meal that I saw on Flip My Food. The written recipe online is a little different from what he did on the show. This is my version of what he did on the show. Usually I just pan fry the fish without making the gravy or the rice side dish just due to time. We like to use redfish. The rice is a great side dish to other meals as well. Read the directions ahead of time because there are 2 pans cooking at the same time.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Season fish with Tony Chachere's & pepper. Put flour in a shallow dish. Dredge fish in flour. Add 2 TB oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 fillets & cook 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove fish & place on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fish. Bake fish for 8-10 minutes.
While fish is pan frying, spray a medium pan with cooking spray & add chopped bacon. Cook until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel. Whisk in 3 TB flour to bacon grease. Once it starts to brown, whisk in chicken stock. Once it's thick enough, whisk in milk. Season with Tony Chachere's & pepper.
While fish is in the oven, melt butter in the same pan used for the fish. Add onions & garlic. Cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add spinach & cook until wilted down. Stir in rice & season with Tony Chachere's & pepper.
Serve bacon gravy over fish.
