Step 1

Instruction

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potato into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Trim the carrot (no need to peel) and chop into batons the same size as the potato wedges. Pop the potato and carrot onto a lined baking tray and season with salt and half the paprika. Drizzle with oil. Turn to coat in the oil and roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Line another baking tray with parchment paper. Pop the panko breadcrumbs in a small bowl and mix in the remaining paprika and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Pop the cod pieces onto the baking tray and smear a thin layer of mayonnaise on each piece of fish. Carefully sprinkle the crumbs on top and gently press to make sure they stick. We will bake the fish when the veggies have 15 mins cooking time left.

Five mins before the fish is ready, heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds until fragrant. TIP: Be careful to not let it brown. Add the spinach, stir and cook until completely wilted, 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper and get ready to serve.
