Ingredients
Scale
4 cod fillets (you can substitute with halibut or snapper)
1 cup coconut milk (light coconut milk for a lighter option)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced (or you can use ground ginger)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir gently until simmering for about 5 minutes.
Rinse and pat the cod fillets dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a baking dish, drizzle a bit of olive oil, then place the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer. Pour the coconut lemon cream sauce over the fish.
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Once baked, remove the cod from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.
