Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Saucepan
  • Baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds cod fillets fresh or thawed
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to simmer. Add half of the grated cheddar cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Grease a baking dish with a bit of butter or olive oil.
  • Place the wilted spinach at the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Arrange the cod fillets on top of the spinach. Season the fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the cod and spinach.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure your cod fillets are patted dry to prevent excess water from making the casserole soggy.
For a crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
