Whiting with spinach

Trying to incorporate healthy fish to my everyday diet hasn't been easy at first.  I didn't know many different types  fish. This one, I actually remember from back home, Lithuania, where we used to eat it often.  I like whiting fish because it's so easy to remove the bones. It has one big bone in the middle that comes off very easily once it's cooked.

You will need:
whiting
fresh or frozen spinach
garlic powder
paprika
curry powder (if you don't like curry, feel free to omit it)

In a frying put, put 1/4 of a cup of water. Place your fish, season, cover and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Take the lid off, turn and let it steam some more, until it's done, another 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small pot, pour some water as well, and place your spinach. If using fresh spinach, keep on mixing with the boiling water, so the leaves would wilt from the heat. Once they are all soft and deep dark in color, you are done. Sprinkle some garlic powder on top. Place it in the strainer, pat it with a spoon to remove excess water.
The same, simple method you may use for any white fish, whole or fillet.
Place your cooked fish on the plate and with the fork carefully remove the middle bone. Beside, put some spinach. Bone Apetite!
