Ingredients

1 large navel orange, peel and pith removed, flesh cut into segments and halved

1 pink grapefruit, peel and pith removed, flesh cut into segments and chopped

1 medium lemon, peel and pith removed, flesh cut into segments and chopped

1/2 small shallot, thinly sliced

1/2 red habanero chili, stem, seeds, and ribs removed, finely chopped (wear protective gloves; about 1 teaspoon)

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Zest of 1/2 lime, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon honey or agave

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 sea bass fillets, skinned (each 4 ounces)

8 ounces baby spinach (about 8 cups)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Toss orange, grapefruit, lemon, shallot, chili, cilantro, lime zest and juice, oil, honey, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes, gently stirring occasionally.

3. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

4. Season fish using remaining salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet. Cover lightly with foil, and cook for 10 minutes.

5. Place spinach in steamer basket over boiling water. Steam until bright green and just wilted, about 3 minutes.
