I love the RZ ingredient search! W/little time or effort, I easily found out there are 205 "florentine" recipes here: 2 w/scallops, 5 w/shrimp & 0 w/haddock or sweet potatoes. None of the 7 I did find resembled this unique recipe in any way. Voila! Time to enter a new & intriguing seafood recipe. :-) *Enjoy*

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Blend well and add the milk and cream, stirring. When thickened and smooth remove from the heat and add the cheese, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, and blend well. Add the egg, stirring rapidly. Set aside and keep warm.
- Cut away and discard any tough blemishes on the spinach leaves. Rinse well and drain.
- Place spinach in a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula. When spinach is wilted, in about 3 minutes, transfer it to a colander and drain, pressing with the back of the spatula to extract liquid. Set aside.
- With 1 tablespoon butter, grease a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the shallots over the bottom. Add the fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the wine. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, then place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon shallots, and the spinach, salt and pepper. Cook and stir for one minute, no longer. Smooth the spinach over the bottom of an oval baking dish. Carefully place the baked codfish pieces over the spinach. Cover and keep warm.
- Pour the wine liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan. Reduce it quickly by half. Add this to the cheese sauce and stir. Bring to a boil.
- Spoon the hot sauce evenly over the fish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and the fish is nicely browned on top.

FISH FLORENTINE
Legend has it that when Catherine de Medici of Florence was wed to Henry of Aragon, she brought a Florentine chef with her to prepare the foods she adored. The Florentine style of cooking leans toward simple preparations of fresh foods to make consistently appealing meals. Traditionally, this dish uses a flaky white fish such as sole, cod, or halibut, but it does wonders for a salmon fillet or even orange roughy. Pack as much spinach as possible into the pot as it will cook down significantly Don't be afraid to push down the leaves with the heel of your hand. Just be sure that the seal around the lid is tight when the pot goes in the oven.

Tips:
- Use fresh seafood. This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and delicious. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good option.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and flavor to your dish. Some good options include spinach, broccoli, and mushrooms.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. A good option is a creamy sauce made with white wine, garlic, and butter.
- Serve immediately. Seafood Florentine is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the seafood is still hot and juicy.
