  • Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Season mahi mahi with garlic salt and pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook mahi mahi in the hot skillet until it flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the mahi mahi is cooking, melt butter in a separate skillet. Stir in spinach, green onions, and garlic; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chopped bacon, evaporated milk, and hot pepper sauce; bring to a low simmer. Add Monterey Jack cheese, a little at a time, stirring until fully melted. Stir in more evaporated milk if needed, to create a sauce.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Transfer fillets to a baking dish. Divide spinach sauce evenly over fillets and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
