Spinach and Artichoke Smallmouth Bass Recipe With Kale and Beet Salad
This smallmouth bass recipe comes courtesy of our buddy Carly O’Kane, the wild dietitian.
Fishing has always been one of my favourite pastimes, not only to relish in the beauty of the outdoors and for the thrill of that rod bend, but for the tasty feast that follows! Here is a nutritious and delicious recipe I created with some smallmouth bass I caught last summer.
Happy fishing, and eating!

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- If fish is frozen, place under cold running water until thawed. Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a cast-iron skillet, pre-heat olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add spinach and artichokes and cook for 3-5 minutes or until spinach wilts. Add white wine and allow it to cook down for 3-5 minutes. Turn heat on low and melt in cream cheese and parmigiano reggiano.
- Generously top your fillets with this creamy mixture of deliciousness. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fish is white and flakes with a fork.
- Assemble the Salad. Add chopped kale and spiralized (or grated) beets to a large bowl. Toss in raw pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and parmigiano reggiano. In a small bowl or cup, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pepper and buckwheat honey. Toss the salad with as much dressing as you like. Enjoy!
