You know when there are things in your fridge that need
using up and you come up with bizarre food combinations? This dish was a result
of that. And it turned out pretty good I must say. Also, this is a quick fix
dinner.
Cod is excellent for a dish like this because it has a mild flavour. And since it is quite dense is good for being stuffed.
For you guys in Norway: Cod in Norwegian is called Torske. So if you’re buying filets it will say Torskefilet on the label. I bought the filets from Bunnpris. They came as a pack of 4 filets, weighing 500gms.

Spinach Stuffed
Cod Filets
4 Cod Filets (500gms)
1 cup Spinach leaves (shredded)
3 tbsp Sour cream
1 tsp Corn flour
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Lemon juice
¼ tsp Rosemary (dried)
¼ tsp Basil (dried)
¼ tsp Oregano (dried)
2 cloves of Garlic (crushed and minced)
½ tsp Cracked Pepper
Salt to taste
1 cup Spinach leaves (shredded)
3 tbsp Sour cream
1 tsp Corn flour
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Lemon juice
¼ tsp Rosemary (dried)
¼ tsp Basil (dried)
¼ tsp Oregano (dried)
2 cloves of Garlic (crushed and minced)
½ tsp Cracked Pepper
Salt to taste
This is a baked dish, so you’ll have to preheat your oven to
180C.
The spinach stuffing is easy. Mix the spinach, sour cream
and pinch of salt in a bowl.
Then we move on to preparing the marinade. In a bowl, mix
the corn flour, olive oil, lemon juice, dried herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.
Slice the cod filet horizontally, but not all the way through. You should be
able to open it like a book, sort of. Dip the cod filets in this marinade and coat
it well.
Line your baking tray with foil. The foil leaves the baking sheet cleaner so
you won’t have to scour out the grease at the risk of scratching your baking
sheet.
Place filets on the baking tray, stuff with the spinach stuffing. Pour the
remaining marinade all over the filets.
Place your baking tray at the top most rung of your oven. Bake for 15 mins.
Then switch your oven to the grill mode and grill on the highest heat for only
2 mins. And keep watching your fish so that it doesn’t burn.
Grilling just brings out more flavour. If you don’t have a
grill mode on your oven, you can use a grill pan or regular pan on your stove
and sear for about 1 min on high heat.
I served this with some spaghetti tossed in olive oil.
