Ingredients:

• 4 white fish fillets (mahi-mahi, seabass, or halibut work great)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• Adkins Lemon Pepper Seasoning - about 1 tsp (to taste)

• Adkins Cajun Seasoning - about 1 tsp for sauce (to taste)

• 2-3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp salted butter

• 1 shallot, thinly sliced

• 3 garlic cloves, chopped or grated

• 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or a pinch of dried thyme)

• 3/4 cup milk

• 2 oz cream cheese

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 4 cups kale or spinach (your choice!)

​

Instructions:

1. Prep the Fish: Pat your fish fillets dry with a paper towel (this helps them crisp up). Generously season both sides with Adkins Lemon Pepper Seasoning. Spread the flour in a shallow bowl and lightly dredge each fillet, coating both sides. Shake off any excess.

2. Cook the Fish: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. (Pro tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan!) Transfer the fish to a plate and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the shallots, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in about 1 tsp of Adkins Cajun Seasoning (adjust to your spice preference). Pour in the milk, add the cream cheese, and reduce the heat to low. Stir constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.

4. Finish It Up: Stir in the Parmesan and kale (or spinach), cooking until the greens wilt, 3-5 minutes. Squeeze in the lemon juice for a bright kick. Gently slide the fish back into the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

7. Divide the fish among plates, spoon that luscious sauce over the top, and dig in! Pair it with crusty bread, rice, or just enjoy it as is for a low-carb delight.
