Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatoes (about 2 large), cut into wedges
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 pound store-bought cooked polenta, sliced into 8 rounds
  • 4 6-ounce pieces skinless cod or striped bass fillet
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2 bunches spinach, trimmed (about 12 cups)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Combine the tomatoes, scallions, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the polenta and cook until golden
and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; reserve the skillet. Add 1 more tablespoon of the oil to the reserved
skillet. Season the cod with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30
seconds. Add as much spinach as will fit in the skillet. Season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently
and adding more spinach as there is room, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve the spinach, cod, and polenta topped with the marinated tomatoes.
