Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) cod fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 thinly sliced jalapeño
• 1.5 cups (halved) cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
• 0.5 cup vegetable stock
• 3 cups baby spinach

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin powder, and red chili flakes.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Carefully place the cod fillets in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the cod from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the red onion, jalapeño slices, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

Step 6

Pour the vegetable stock and lime juice into the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted.

Step 8

Nestle the seared cod fillets back into the skillet among the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the dish with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful juices. Enjoy!
