Equipment

  • baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 4 oz Wild-Caught Cod Filets, not frozen
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, lightly smashed
  • ½ lemon, juice and zest
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced
  • 6 oz raw spinach, roughly chopped
  • 8 oz baby Bella mushrooms, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
    Pat the cod dry with a paper towel and place the filets on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the fish with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, chopped garlic, zest of 1 lemon, and scatter the lemon slice around the fish.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste and place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
    Be careful not to overcook the cod.
  • While the fish is baking, cook the spinach and mushrooms.
    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil, butter, and the smashed garlic clove.
    Add in the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once the mushrooms have browned, add in the chopped spinach and sauté just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    *Feel free to add a splash of cream to make the spinach and mushrooms for a little creaminess.
  • When the fish is done baking, remove it from the oven and serve it on a bed of spinach and mushrooms, then give it a good squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
