Notes

  • Cook the garlic just until golden brown; if it gets burned, it will give a bitter taste to the oil.
  • Always stir the spinach while cooking; they will get soft and bright green just with the heat of the skillet; there’s no need to add more liquid.

Instructions

  • Clean the cod filets and pat them dry with paper towels—season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the filet's skin side down and let them cook for about 5 minutes on each side; reserve.
  • In the same oil, add the garlic cloves and let them cook for a couple of minutes, just until golden brown. Remove and reserve.
  • Add the spinach and let them cook until wilted - just until they are bright green.
  • Add the raisins and pine nuts and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the cod over the spinach and top with the garlic and fresh parsley.
