Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and fold up the edges to create a barrier.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook until wilted for 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth, adding flour to thicken, cooking for about 5 minutes.
  5. Layer sautéed spinach on the foil, place Chilean sea bass on top, and pour the cream sauce over the fish.
  6. Seal the foil pouch tightly around the fish.
  7. Bake in the oven for 12-20 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Carefully open the foil pouch and transfer the fish onto plates, serving immediately.
