Heat oil in a 12-inch saute pan until smoking. Add cod pieces and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Turn cod pieces over and then add onion, garlic, pine nuts, and currants to the pan, shaking it so that all the ingredients are in contact with the pan.

Place cod on top of spinach, add wine, cover, and cook for 8 more minutes, until the liquid evaporates from the spinach. Serve immediately.
