1/3 cup (50g) toasted pine nuts

1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1.Score the skin of the fish three times at the thickest part. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan; cook the fish until browned on both sides and just cooked through.

3.Divide the spinach among serving plates, top with the fish and the raisin lemon salad. Drizzle with any remaining dressing. Serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread, if desired.
