Ingredients

1 pound cod fillets, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups warm milk, or more as needed
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded yellow Cheddar cheese

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2

Arrange cod in a single layer in a large baking dish; set aside.
3

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes.
4

Gradually whisk warm milk into the flour mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.
5

Whisk in white Cheddar cheese, then mix onion, spinach, salt, and black pepper into the sauce.
6

Remove saucepan from heat and stir in garlic. If sauce is too thick, stir in more warm milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
7

Pour sauce over fish in baking dish.
8

Layer mashed potatoes on top.
9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then sprinkle with yellow Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until fish is easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes more.
