This recipe I was excited about...then lost my excitement...but then when I ate it I was brought back to my original excitement. The whole thing started with a trip to the farmer's market. I went there this morning to get an organic fair trade cappuccino. But then that stand wasn't set up when I got there. So I decided to peruse the veggies. I had in the back of my mind that I would make this recipe next and I thought the farmer's market would be the perfect place to get me some greens to wilt. The swiss chard looked really good at one of the stands and I hadn't had swiss chard since I was young and I decide this might be a good time to try it again.
So that was how I decided to make this tonight. I had to pick up the fish on the way home too. Big surprise that Metro didn't sell fresh Sea Bass. I picked up a fillet of Snapper in it's place. Preparation of this meal is really simple. This recipe does make 4 servings and I was only cooking for one tonight so I didn't make a whole fish like Nigella suggests. I used a single serving fillet and therefore reduced the cooking time dramatically. For the whole fish it's 25 minutes. I cooked my piece for 10 minutes.
Then for the wilted greens I washed the chard and chopped it down to more manageable pieces and sauteed them in the anchovy and garlic oil. I also decided kinda last minute to toss in some marinated artichoke hearts too. The end result was some perfectly cooked and seasoned fish and I've become a fan of swiss chard. Which is great because it's soooo healthy for you. I'm feeling pretty good about this recipe because it is so fantastically healthy and delicious meal!
