From the Real Simple Mediterranean Diet issue. I love fish recipes where you can cook the fish directly from frozen so I can buy a bulk pack of frozen filets and can have dinner ready in 20 minutes without having to defrost them.
While I used cod this time, any white fish will do. Pollock, tilapia, anything you want! Turns out great.
1 Tbsp. paprika
2 tsp. ground coriander
1½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. cayenne
3 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
¼ cup tomato paste
5 oz. frozen chopped spinach (from a 10-oz. pkg.)
2 tsp. sugar
¼ tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 frozen skinless cod fillets or other white fish, such as sole, flounder, snapper, or wild Alaska pollock (about 1½ Ib. total)
1 tsp. lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Cooked couscous, for serving
MIX paprika, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add paprika mixture and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in spinach, 1½ cups water, sugar, salt, and several grinds of pepper; cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up spinach with a spoon, until spinach is dispersed, 3 to 4 minutes.
NESTLE fish in sauce and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.
Top with lemon zest and cilantro and serve with couscous.
