Oven Baked Cod with Spinach and Tomato

Oven Baked Cod with Spinach and Tomato
The oven-baked cod with spinach and tomato is like a party for your taste buds. I love how the cod fillets get all tender and flaky while being baked under that delicious topping. The custardy mashed potatoes and the buttery sautéed squash are the perfect sidekicks, providing a comforting contrast to the tangy topping. Its simple, yet solidly delicious. This is definitely a crowd-pleaser, trust me!
Ingredients
  • 450g / 1 lb cod fillets, 2 fillets of 225g / 6 oz each
  • 200g / 7 oz frozen spinach, thawed
  • 115g / ½ cup grated cheese
  • 235ml / 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 30g / 2 tablespoons butter
  • 15-20 cherry tomatoes (approximately 250g)
  • 5-6 ml / 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 6g / 1 clove garlic
  • 3g / ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (225°C) to get started.

2. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they're tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3. While the potatoes are boiling, melt a pat of butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the squash until it's lightly browned.

4. Next, grease an oven-safe dish with a small amount of butter and carefully place the cod fillets inside.

5. In a separate pan, melt a little more butter over medium heat and sauté the thawed spinach for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Peel and chop the garlic, then add it to the spinach and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spoon the spinach mixture evenly over the cod fillets.

6. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top of the spinach, then pour the heavy cream over the dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top.

7. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Remove the dish from the oven and serve the cod hot, accompanied by the boiled potatoes and sautéed squash on the side.
