Ingredients

1 slice applewood-smoked bacon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 (6-ounce) skinless halibut fillets

2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic

1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach

Preparation

Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, and crumble. Set aside.

Combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over fish. Add fish to drippings in pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Remove fish from pan, and keep warm.

Add 2 teaspoons garlic to pan, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in bacon. Add spinach to pan, and cook for 1 minute or until the spinach begins to wilt. Serve with fish.
