Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets cod fillets wild-caught is best for flavor and sustainability
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for a rich taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced fresh garlic brings out the best flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream look for options without additives
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated melts beautifully
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped oil-packed will add more flavor
  • 2 cups fresh spinach organic if possible for the best taste
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is key for achieving perfectly flaky fish!
  2. Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the cod fillets to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
  5. Remove the cod fillets from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
  9. Incorporate the 1/2 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 cups of fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts beautifully.
  10. Return the cod fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the rich sauce over the top.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Serve your creamy Tuscan cod hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to maintain creaminess.
