• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach to skillet; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and cooked down, 5 more minutes. Stir olives, feta cheese, lemon rind, salt, oregano, and white pepper into spinach. Cook until feta cheese has melted and flavors have blended, about 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Blend the cream cheese and spinach in a large bowl.
• Add the garlic, nutmeg, and salt
• Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray
• Arrange the fillets on the pan and slice a slit down the fish.

• Sprinkle Ritz or bread crumbs over fish
• Bake for 8 minutes until fish flakes with a fork.
• *I didn't use all of the cream cheese mixture, so I recommend saving the left over and using it as a spinach dip! My husband loves it on wheat thins or chips! The recipe will actually be closer to 135 calories since you won't use all the mixture most likely.
