Method
- 1.
Season the cod — Pat the cod dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- 2.
Sear the cod — Sear the cod for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and just opaque throughout. Add the minced garlic for the last minute so it turns fragrant without burning.
- 3.
Wilt spinach and squeeze lemon — Push the cod aside and add the spinach to the pan; toss until just wilted, about 1 minute. Squeeze the lemon juice over everything and serve at once.
