Prosciutto-Wrapped Cod & Lemony Bacony Spinach

We have a new obsession. It’s Jen Fisch’s (@KetoInTheCity) cookbook, The Big Book of Keto Diet Cooking. Not only are the recipes delicious - but they are ketogenic (ovbi) and easy.

We cooked up prosciutto-wrapped cod and lemony spinach for lunch. Instead of EVOO for the spinach we used bacon fat and alas we have lemony, bacony, spinach. We also added two tablespoons (versus 1) of capers… cuz we <3 capers.
