How to make it

  1. Prepare the cod: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the cod fillet with olive oil, garlic, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  2. Make the romesco sauce: While the cod is baking, blend the roasted red pepper, garlic, almonds, olive oil, smoked paprika, and red wine vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Cook the spinach: In a small pan, wilt the spinach over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Serve: Plate the baked cod with the romesco sauce spooned on top and the spinach on the side.
