Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Cod

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Place the cod fillets in the dish, season them with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the melted butter.

2

Bake the Cod

Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Cooking the Vegetables

3

Sauté Spinach and Apples

In a large skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced green apples and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Making the Sauce

4

Prepare the Mustard Cream Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened.

Serving

5

Plate the Dish

On each plate, place a generous portion of the wilted spinach and apples. Top with a piece of baked cod and drizzle the mustard cream sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.
