FISH FLORENTINE RECIPE - FOOD.COM

Fish Florentine Recipe - Food.com image

Florentine is just the expression given to a dish paired with spinach, so you can have steak Florentine or chicken. I have listed this as fish Florentine rather than stating a particular kind, as I usually make this with sole, but I have made it with cod, and this time I made it with perch. The sauce I think works well with most kinds of firm white fish so take your pick and make your favourite.

My version of Florentine Sauce is special. It creamy yet lite with delicious flavor of star-ingredient - spinach. Just three things make all the difference:

To lighten-up the sauce, I replace heavy cream with half-and-half. (half the cream and half the milk).
Add herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and chicken stock to add more depth of flavor.
Use fresh spinach instead of frozen to control the amount of liquid in the sauce.

Chicken Florentine Sauce Pasta

CREAMY CHICKEN FLORENTINE SAUCE

Florentine (in food context) means food served on bed of spinach. The signature Florentine Spinach Sauce was my inspiration to make this creamy chicken Florentine Pasta. Like I mentioned, to lighten-up the sauce, I replaced the heavy cream in sauce with half and half i.e. part heavy cream and part milk. This also makes sauce right consistency to work with pasta.

For lite homey summer dinner flavor, I flavored the sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, herbs and chicken stock. A subtle tang of sun-dried tomatoes helps cut the richness and make sauce extra-special. You will love the flavors.

Tip: If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, use zest of a lemon. You can also fold in fresh cherry tomatoes in the sauce.

Pasta Coated in Creamy Chicken Florentine Spinach Sauce

FROZEN VS FRESH SPINACH?

Any day, I will choose fresh spinach over frozen. Simply because I always have fresh spinach in refrigerator as we love using it as base for summer salads.

Specially for Florentine sauce, fresh spinach is better than frozen. Frozen thawed spinach still holds lot of water and is not that easy to squeeze. No mater what, it will retain some water. This water can dilute the sauce or bland the flavor for sure. In Florentine sauce, spinach is the star. So, to control the amount of liquid in sauce, I used fresh spinach. I cook fresh spinach with pinch of salt and a tsp oil in skillet until it is wilted. Then let it drain while I prepare the rest of sauce. This helps to make much silky and never-watery.
