Scallops and fish with spinach

I made this recipe up after having been to the supermarket and found scallops and fish in the reduced price section. Both items were marked 75% off, needing to be eaten that day.
We both enjoyed the flavours and I am sure that many variations can be made from the basic recipe. I bought ready washed baby spinach leaves, so the preparation was very simple and one pan cooking always appeals as we live on a small boat.
This is the first time I have tried to write down something I have cooked, so I hope the instructions are clear.Submitted by: PEJAYAR

Not-Fried Shrimp with Japanese Cocktail Sauce

Biting into a perfectly crispy fried shrimp is so satisfying. The 10 grams of fat per serving? Not so satisfying. This dish has all the crunch, with much less fat. Submitted by: CHEF_MEG

Halibut poached in white wine

This easy to prepare recipe provides 3 four ounce portions. The fish is so tender and perfectly cooked, with the wine and capers adding the perfect acidity to counter balance the smooth sweetness of the coconut cream and shallots. Serve with a side of Israeli Couscous and you'll have a perfect main course. Submitted by: CD13909262

This was really good!
The chicken boullion mixture is the water, boullion, cornstarch and whipping cream (this was a bit unclear in the recipe). - 7/8/12

What ingredients cause the sodium to be so high, besides the boullion? Want to try this but need to do something with the sodium. - 3/15/13
