Spinach And Rice Fish Roll-Ups - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic, to taste
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup cooked white rice or 1 cup cooked brown rice
2 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained (squeeze out any excess moisture with hands)
1/4 - 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg white
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (more if desired)
6 (4 ounce) sole fillets (fresh or frozen thawed, or use a similar fish)

Preparation

Set oven to 400 degrees.
Grease a 11 x 7-inch baking pan.
In a small saute pan, saute the onion and garlic in oil until soft (about 5-7 minutes).
In a medium bowl, combine onion mixture, Mozzarella cheese, cooked rice, spinach, Parmesan cheese, egg white, salt and pepper; mix well to combine.
Pour the lemon juice in the bottom of the prepared baking pan; set aside.
Cut each fish fillet lengthwise into 2 strips (or leave whole, whatever you desire).
Spoon about 1/4 cup (about 1/3 cup for whole fillets) spinach/cheese mixture onto each fillet strip.
Roll up to enclose the filling; secure with a toothpick.
Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper (sprinkle with a lttle more fresh lemon juice if desired).
Place (cut-side down) over the lemon juice in the baking dish; cover with foil.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
