Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Captain’s cut cod fish filet two fillets, each one pound
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling over the finished dish
  • 1 cup shallots sliced
  • 1 medium clove fresh garlic minced
  • 1 container 8 ounces of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves stripped from the stems (or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • A few grinds of fresh nutmeg
  • 8 ounces baby spinach
  • 8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 lemon cut into six wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cod Fillets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels and season them evenly with kosher salt and white pepper on both sides.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook for about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add Tomatoes and Herbs: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme, dried oregano, and a few grinds of fresh nutmeg. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to release their juices and soften slightly.
  • Incorporate Spinach: Add the baby spinach to the skillet, a handful at a time, stirring until it wilts and reduces in volume. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish: Spoon the spinach and tomato mixture evenly over the seasoned cod fillets in the baking dish. Crumble the feta cheese over the top, ensuring the fillets are well-covered with the topping.
  • Bake the Cod: Drizzle a little more olive oil over the dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the feta cheese is slightly golden.
  • Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the baked cod fillets with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. A simple side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad pairs perfectly with this dish.
