Baked Cod with Creamy Spinach Sauce

Baked Cod with Creamy Spinach Sauce
This baked cod with creamy spinach sauce is the epitome of comfort food. The tender, flaky cod is perfectly complemented by the rich and velvety spinach sauce, which envelopes the fish in a warm, satisfying embrace. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity - the ingredients are few, but they work together harmoniously to create a meal that is both nourishing and indulgent. The cod is seasoned with just a hint of salt and pepper, allowing its natural sweetness to shine through. The sauce, made with fresh baby spinach, heavy cream, and a touch of Dijon mustard, is creamy without being heavy. A final sprinkle of dill adds a fresh, herbaceous note that ties everything together. Serve this dish with some boiled potatoes and a crisp green salad for a complete, balanced meal that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.
