SOLE FLORENTINE AU GRATIN
This is such an elegant and flavorful way to prepare fish. This is from my recipe file of "How to Win a Husband 101". A co-worker shared this recipe and warned me it would "Wow" even those that didn't like fish. I prepared this elegant dish when I was dating my husband. He was really impressed and 13 years later, he still loves this dish. The resulting preparation does not have a strong fish flavor and the combination Mornay like sauce served over a bed of spinach tastes like a restaurant quality dish. I included a shrimp sauce option at the end of the recipe.

- Squeeze moisture out of spinach.
- Arrange spinach on the bottom of a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and arrange fish on top.
- Sprinkle with remaining Swiss Cheese.
- Preheat oven to 450°F and reheat sauce.
- Spoon sauce over fish and bake 7-8 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- *Option* May add tiny pieces of cut up shrimp to sauce to have Sole with Shrimp Florentine au Gratin.
