Make
-
Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
-
Toss broccoli with cooking oil (portion for broccoli), balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes, shaking pan halfway through cooking.
-
Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan or skillet with cooking oil (portion for fish) over medium-high heat. Working with one piece of fish at a time, place fish in the skillet and sear on each side until golden brown, ~2 minutes per side. (If not all of the fish will fit in the pan at once, cook it in batches, adding more oil as needed).
-
Transfer cooked fish to a plate and set aside. Keep pan over heat.
-
To heated pan, slowly add stock and garlic, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Whisk in lemon juice, capers, butter, honey, and parsley. Add artichoke hearts and spinach and saute until spinch is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with some salt and pepper.
-
Spoon artichoke hearts and sauce over fish. Enjoy with roasted broccoli.
