• Lemon wedges and chopped parsley (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Make the stuffing:
   In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, Swiss cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Assemble (up to 1 day ahead):
   Pat fish fillets dry and lay them flat on a work surface, skin-side down. Divide the stuffing evenly between the fillets, placing it near the wider end of each. Roll up each fillet around the filling and place seam-side down in a lightly buttered baking dish. Top each roll with a small piece of butter and a sprinkle of paprika. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

3. Bake:
   Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pour the white wine into the baking dish around the fish rolls. Bake uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Serve:
   Spoon the buttery wine sauce from the pan over the fish rolls. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
