Ingredients:
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
½ cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped dill or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 ¼ pounds of cod or halibut, cut into 4 portions
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic slivered
1 pound baby spinach
Lemon wedges for garnish
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
