• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually add spinach and cook, tossing, until just wilted, 4 to 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Fold each fillet into thirds. Place fish in skillet and pour in wine; bring to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until fish is just opaque, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with lemon-parsley relish and spinach.

SALSA AND SPINACH FRITTATA

• Strain salsa through a fine-mesh sieve; discard liquid. Melt butter in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet over high. Add strained salsa and spinach; cook until spinach is wilted, 2 minutes. Add eggs seasoned with salt. Cook, stirring, until almost set, 2 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees until set, about 12 minutes.

BLACK SEA BASS WITH MATSUTAKE MUSHROOMS AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and espelette pepper. Add sake to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet; cook until sake is reduced by half.
• Add chicken stock and 1/8 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt and espelette pepper. Add rosemary sprigs and let cook until liquid is reduced by half. Using a slotted spoon remove mushrooms and rosemary; set mushrooms aside and discard rosemary.

• Preheat broiler; lightly oil a small baking sheet and set aside. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof pan over high heat. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Add fish to skillet, skin side down. Cook until skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and place under broiler; cook until fish is no longer opaque, about 1 minute more. Remove from broiler and keep warm.
