Description

A delightful dish featuring tender cod fillets baked in a rich coconut lemon cream sauce, infused with ginger and garlic for a tropical twist.


Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the cod fillets in a baking dish and pour the coconut sauce over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Let the cod sit in the sauce for a short while before baking to enhance the flavor. You can add red pepper flakes for some heat.
