Baked cod with spinach

This baked cod with spinach is a super easy dish, which can be made straight from the freezer (but do check the packaging instructions). For a low-cal version you can leave out the oil completely.  Serve it with a side dish of your choice (I served it with mashed celeriac).

Ingredients
  

  • 2 frozen cod fillet
  • 100 g frozen spinach
  • Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Olive oil spray
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chilli flakes cayenne (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. Pour some hot (but not boiling) water over the spinach to loosen it up, then squeeze the excess water out. In a small bowl, mix it with the lemon zest, salt and pepper. You can add a pinch of cayenne or chilli flakes too, if liked.
  3. Put the spinach in a baking dish then lay the cod fillets on top. Spray with the oil and squeeze the lemon juice over. Season to taste.
  4. Cut the lemon into 2 slices and put them on top of the cod.
  5. Cover the dish with foil then bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. Don’t overcook the fish!
  6. Serve warm.
