Prepare flaky cod fillets in a single skillet with a rich, creamy garlic sauce, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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

Notes

  • You can substitute cod with haddock or tilapia if desired.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce before serving.
  • If your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer the fish and sauce to a baking dish after simmering on the stovetop and bake at 375°F for 8 minutes.
