Prepare tender cod fillets in a rich, creamy Tuscan sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, all cooked in a single skillet for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 oz) cod fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season the cod fillets on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the cod fillets for 2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts down, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese into the sauce and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Return the cod fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
  10. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  11. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a slightly lighter sauce.
  • If your skillet is not oven-safe, cover it tightly on the stovetop to finish cooking the fish.
  • Use low-sodium broth if you are watching your salt intake.
