3 (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

1.02 kg cod fillet

1 ½ cups cottage cheese

6 cloves garlic

1.02 kg green beans

1 ½ lemons

128 g Parmesan cheese

1 ½ cups whole wheat couscous

extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F).

Fill a large pot halfway with hot water (from the tap). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Once the water in the pot is boiling, uncover, then add salt and spinach. Stir until wilted, about 1 minute, then drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool. (Reserve pot for the next step.)

Place water and salt in the reserved pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, add couscous, and stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes; fluff with a fork right before serving.

Meanwhile, using your hands, squeeze as much water from the spinach as you can, then transfer to a cutting board. Roughly chop spinach and place in a medium bowl.

Zest lemons into the bowl with the spinach. Cut lemons into wedges and set aside for serving.

Peel and mince garlic. Add half to the bowl. (Set remaining garlic aside for later use.)

Place cottage cheese in a colander or strainer and press with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid. Add to the bowl, along with spices, and stir to combine the topping.

Pat cod dry with paper towels and arrange on a baking sheet pan. Season the top side of the fish with salt and pepper, then spread with spinach topping. Drizzle with oil and set aside.

Trim green beans. Transfer to a large baking sheet, then drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with reserved garlic, salt, and pepper, then stir to coat and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheets in the oven and roast, stirring the green beans halfway, until fish is almost cooked through and beans are fork-tender, 12-14 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan.

When the green beans are fork-tender, remove baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. Return baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast until fish is cooked through and cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from oven.

To serve, divide couscous, cod, and green beans between plates. Squeeze lemon over top and enjoy!
