Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 cups Baby spinach
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the cod fillets with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Place the cod fillets in a baking dish in a single layer.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then cut the lemon in half and juice it, adding the juice to the bowl.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the lemon zest and juice, mixing well.
Step 7
Evenly spread the lemon herb mixture over the cod fillets.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
While the cod is baking, prepare the spinach. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, and sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Once the cod is ready, serve immediately on a bed of the wilted spinach.
