Finally, storing your muffins properly in an airtight container can help them maintain their moisture.

To thicken creamed spinach, you can add a roux (mixture of flour and butter) or a cornstarch slurry (mixture of cornstarch and water) to the spinach mixture while it’s cooking. Simply heat up the roux or slurry in a separate pan, and then add it to the spinach mixture. Stir the spinach continuously until the roux or slurry is fully incorporated and the mixture has thickened to your liking. Alternatively, you can also simmer the spinach mixture for a longer period of time to allow the liquid to evaporate, which will result in a thicker consistency.

Cook for 4-5 minutes and then flip the halibut over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. It is important not to overcook the halibut, as it will become rubbery and dry. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
