Season the cod fillet on both sides with the salt, black pepper, and lemon zest, pressing the zest gently so it adheres to the fish.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the cod. Cook for 3 minutes, flip carefully, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside. Done when flakes easily, 145°F.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add the spinach and a splash of water if the pan is dry. Toss for 1 minute until the leaves are just wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
