Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cups vegetable stock
- 4 pieces cod fillets, skinless
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and paprika, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable stock. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper on each side.
Nestle the cod fillets into the tomato sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Gently stir the fresh spinach into the sauce, allowing it to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the cod and sauce hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
