 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 21       oz           Frozen spinach -- cooked
  2       lb           Fish fillets
  1 1/2   c            Court bouillon
  3       tb           Butter
  2       tb           Flour
    1/3   c            Cream
    1/2   c            Swiss cheese -- grated
                       Salt and pepper -- to taste
  2       tb           Parmesan cheese -- grated

 Heat the oven to 350°F. Make the spinach according to package
 directions, and drain in a colander, pressing with the back of a
 spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Place the fish fillets
 in a baking dish, and bring the court bouillon to a simmer on the
 stove. Pour the liquid into the baking dish, cover with a sheet of
 buttered wax paper, buttered side down, and bake for 5 to
 7 minutes. Drain the cooking liquid, and reserve. Melt the butter
 in a saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring
 constantly, for 3 minutes. Whisk in the reserved cooking liquid,
 and bring to a boil. Add the cream and cheese to the sauce, and
 stir until smooth and bubbly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
 Preheat an oven broiler. Stir half the sauce into the spinach, and
 arrange the spinach on an ovenproof serving platter. Arrange the
 fish on top of the spinach, and then top each fillet with some of
 the sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top of the sauce, and place
 under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned.

 Yield: 6 Servings

 If assembled a day in advance, refrigerate covered. Then, rather
 than broiling, heat dish in a 350°F oven until hot, about
 15 minutes.
