Baked Haddock with Spinach and Tomatoes

It seems that Friday night has become fish night at my house. Probably because that's the day I go shopping. You can probably tell by now that I love fresh fish and who doesn't. Many people are afraid to make fish at home but I think it's the easiest kind of cooking to do. I like making a dinner that I can incorporate a vegetable all in one. It makes a pretty presentation and it always seems to be so much more flavorful when you cook everything together this way. This is a light dish but the hint of garlic, olive oil and wine give great flavor and make a nice broth.
