Ingredients

  • 30-g pkg dried porcini mushrooms

  • 4 115-g skinless, boneless black cod fillets

  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • 4 1/2 tsp canola oil

  • 8 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 454-g pkgs baby spinach, about 32 cups

  • 1 tsp white truffle oil, optional

Instructions

  • Grind mushrooms to a powder in a blender. Season cod with 1/8 tsp salt and pepper. Coat completely with 2 tbsp ground porcini.

  • Heat a very large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add 1 1/2 tsp of oil, then cod. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, 3 to 4 min. Flip and continue cooking until cod is cooked through, about 3 more min. Remove to a plate.

  • Wipe pan clean and return to stovetop. Add 2 tsp oil, then half of garlic. Cook for 1 min. Add half of spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach wilts, 4 to 5 min. Remove to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining oil, garlic and spinach. Stir remaining salt into cooked spinach.

  • Divide spinach between 4 plates. Top with black cod. Drizzle with truffle oil.
