Pan-seared Cod

I love making simple food at home that's packed with lots of flavor. Like this one. Pan seared cod with sautéed spinach, sausage and shallots. I rendered the sausage and reserved the fat so that I could pan sear the cod. Next, I slice a shallot, chopped some garlic, added the cooked pork, then tossed in the spinach and cooked until the spinach is wilted. I often add a 1/4 cup of white wine to the pan with the spinach mixture during the cooking so that the alcohol burns off. Add salt and pepper to taste. Next, I take cod and pat dry. It sears better when the flesh and skin are as dry as possible. Salt and pepper, then add to the hot pan of rendered pork fat. Cook until brown.
