Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Drain and rinse the canned butter beans.

Toss the beans and cherry tomatoes, and spinach (if using) in a baking dish or on a sheet pan with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and your chosen seasoning.

Pat the cod fillets dry and season them lightly.

Lay out the bacon slices overlapping slightly and place the cod fillet at one end.

Roll the bacon around the cod fillet and secure with a toothpick if needed.

Nestle the bacon-wrapped cod fillets on top of the seasoned bean mixture in the pan.

Drizzle a tiny bit more olive oil over the bacon-wrapped cod.

Put the pan into the preheated oven.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the cod until the fish is opaque and flaky and the bacon is crispy.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute.

Plate the cod on top of the beans.

Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
