One Pot Fish in Spicy Tomato Sauce
Prep Time
10 minutes
Prep Notes
I used Black striped cod for this dish, but any skinless cod fillet or other white fish would work.
Cooking Time
15 minutes
Yields
4 servings
Ingredients
1 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp ground coriander
1 and 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup tomato paste
1/2 bag frozen chopped organic spinach (10 to 12 oz package)
1 tsp sugar
1 and 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
4 skinless white fish fillets (see note above)
1 tsp lemon zest
Cooked Quinoa (made from 1 cup dry quinoa)
Directions
Make the Quinoa according to the package.
Mix paprika, coriander, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne in a small bowl.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add spice mixture and garlic and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute until fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook stirring constantly another minute. Stir in spinach, 1 and 1/2 cup water, sugar, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat stirring occasionally and breaking up spinach with a spoon, about 4 minutes.
Nestle skinless fish in sauce and return to a simmer, reduce heat to medium and cook covered until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of fish.
Serve over quinoa and top with lemon zest.
