Wash, clean and cut the stem end of spinach. Put some water, some salt and the spinach in a pot, let the water boil and cook spinach for about 5 minutes. Then drain them.Wash, peel the onion and chop it. Heat 3 tabklespoons of extra virgin olive oil, add in it onion, let it brown and then add spinach together with the walnuts. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes.
Now blend spinach in order to obtain a sauce.
Envelop the fillet of fish in 1 slice of bacon and cook it in a pan without extra virgin olive oil because the bacon will release its fat.
If the fillet of fish is too large cut it into half and continue in the same way. Cook for 10 minutes until bacon is golden. In a platter pour the sauce of spinach and add the fish. Serve hot. This is the result:
BUON APPETITO!
