Fish is delish...Baked Wild Alaskan Cod with Sauteed Spinach

I never met a fish I didn't like. I love fish! It's easy to season and cooks fast which means when you get home from work you can have a great healthy Paleo-friendly meal on the table in no time. Pair any fish dish with a vegetable side like sauteed spinach and you'll be so impressed with your abilities you'll start experimenting with different varieties of fish like me!

Tonight it's Baked Wild Alaskan Cod with Sauteed Spinach. I've never made cod before but picked some up at Trader Joe's the last time we were there so here goes....

What you need:
2 portions of Wild Alaskan Cod fillets (about 1-1.25 lbs)
Olive Oil
Scallions (sliced)
Salt/Pepper
Garlic Powder
Dill
Parsley
Butter
1 bag (or fresh bunched) Spinach
2 cloves of Garlic (chopped)



How to make:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle a glass baking dish with olive oil and place the cod fillets on top (so they don't stick). Season fillets with garlic powder, salt, pepper, dill and parsley. Sprinkle the top of the cod with olive oil (again) and top with sliced scallions and a small cut of butter (you don't need to add the butter but I like the flavor). Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cod flakes when pierced with a knife. 


While the cod is cooking saute fresh spinach in a pan with garlic and olive oil. 



Plate your dishes with sauteed spinach, delicious cod fillets and serve with a side salad or any other vegetable sides. ENJOY!


Carb Count:
1 bag of spinach = 9 carbs


Post meal analysis: Delish! The cod was light and flavorful. Very good, I would definitely make this again!
