Pan-Fried Cod in Sour Cream Sauce with Sauteed Spinach
A quick and delicious dish featuring pan-fried cod in a tangy sour cream sauce, paired with garlicky sautéed spinach, perfect for a heart-healthy meal.
Prep the Cod: Start by seasoning your cod fillets with garlic powder and salt. This simple seasoning enhances the natural flavors of the fish without overpowering it.
Pan-Fry the Cod: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cod fillets and sear them for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. You want that perfect crispy outside and tender inside!
Make the Creamy Sauce: Slide the cod to the side of the pan, lower the heat, and pour in your vegetable broth and sour cream. Stir them together, letting the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a smooth, velvety consistency. This sauce is everything—it adds a tangy richness to the fish!
Sauté the Spinach: In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the baby spinach, garlic powder, and salt, stirring until the spinach wilts down—this should only take about 2-3 minutes.
Serve & Garnish: Plate your cod fillets with the sautéed spinach on the side, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Don’t forget to sprinkle those chopped chives on top for a pop of color and freshness!
