1
Sear fish

3
Brown butter
In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons butter on medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk solids just start to caramelize and reach a golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. (Watch closely as this can easily burn.) Remove from pan and stir in lemon juice, basil and capers. Set aside to cool.
4
Sauté spinach
Add green garlic to pan and cook until just soft, about 1 minute. Toss in spinach and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, taste and season with more salt if necessary.
Plate, serve
Divide spinach evenly between two plates, top with fish and drizzle with brown butter sauce. Serve remaining brown butter on the side.
