Start by seasoning your cod with salt and pepper. Heat a large pan and add in 2 tbsp of oil along with 1 knob of butter ( about 1 heaped tsp)
Pan fry your cod. This will take about 10 -15 minutes depending on how thick your cod pieces are. Let it cook totally on one side before turning to avoid the fish from sticking. Take the fish out of the pan once cooked, place in a plate and cover.
In the same pan add in 2 tbsps of oil then your crushed garlic, chopped sundried tomatoes and capers.
Let this cook for a couple of minutes on medium heat then add in your cherry tomatoes and stir. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes Now add in your cream, stir and let this cook until your tomatoes are soft and the sauce is bubbling.
Turn off the heat then add in your spinach and incorporate to the sauce until it is all wilted.
Add in your cod, squeeze on some lemon juice, sprinkle some chopped parsley and chilli flakes and serve.
