Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 cups Cornflakes
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the cornflakes in a resealable bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl, and beat the eggs in another bowl.
Pat the fish fillets dry using paper towels. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish fillet into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the crumbed fish fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish bakes, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, tossing frequently, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Remove the fish from the oven and serve immediately with the sautéed spinach on the side.
