1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Garlic
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
3
Season the Cod
Place the Icelandic cod fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the fillets. Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice evenly over the fish.
4
Bake the Cod
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5
Blanch the Greens
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the rapi greens and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet still bright green. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
6
Sauté the Greens
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained rapi greens and sauté for about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with red chili flakes for added flavor.

7
Serve the Dish
On a serving platter, arrange the sautéed rapi greens as a base. Carefully place the roasted cod fillets on top of the greens. Drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil if desired and serve immediately.
