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 Method

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

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
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.
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.
Cut the lemon into 2 slices and put them on top of the cod.
Cover the dish with foil then bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. Don’t overcook the fish!
Serve warm.
