🍽️ Steamed Cod with Spinach and Vegetables

420 kcal · 30 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 cod fillets (160 g each)
• 2 untreated lemons (zest and juice, preferably organic)
• 600 g fresh spinach
• 300 g green beans
• 4 small corn cobs (from the can)
• salt
• pepper (from the mill)
• olive oil (cold-pressed)

Instructions

1. 1. Rinse the cod fillets under running water and pat them dry gently with a kitchen towel. Then drizzle 4 tablespoons of lemon juice over them.
2. 2. Wash the spinach and remove any tough stems. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the spinach. Let it wilt until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
3. 3. Trim the beans and wash them thoroughly. Boil them in plenty of salted water for about 8 minutes (blanching means cooking briefly in boiling water). Remove them from the water and let them drain. Also drain the corn cob.
4. 4. Fill some water into a steamer pot and stir in the remaining lemon juice. Place the fish in the steamer insert of the pot. Steam the fish over medium heat for about 8 minutes with the lid on until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper afterwards.
5. 5. Plate the fillets. Place the beans, spinach, and a portion of the corn cob alongside. Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle lemon zest over it. Serve the dish immediately. Fresh, crispy white bread pairs perfectly with it.
