Keto Smoked Ham Cod w Mustardy Spinach and Leeks
How to Make It
Step 1
Lay two small cod filets on a flat surface, seasoning them with the first amounts of salt and pepper; paprika; oregano; lemon pepper; and red pepper.
Step 2
Wrap a slice of smoked cured ham around each filet, tucking the ends under the fish. Heat the olive oil in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat, and place the wrapped filets in the hot oil.
Step 3
Sear the ham onto the fish on both sides, cooking for about 2 minutes per side to turn the ham a golden brown. Transfer the filets aside to rest before finishing them off in the oven later.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine roughly chopped spinach and leeks (dark and white parts) with the second amounts of salt and pepper; garlic powder; brown mustard; and MELTED butter. Toss until the greens are completely coated.
Step 5
Spray a seasoned sheet tray with pan spray and spread the spinach/leeks across the pan. Make small pockets for your cod filets and lay them gently in the spaces.
Step 6
Bake the tray for 30 minutes. The fish will be cooked through with crisp edges, and the greens will be very wilted, fragrant, and slightly crispier around the edges of the pan. Enjoy!
