Savor succulent baked cod in a luscious coconut lemon cream sauce A delightful dish that elevates your dinner with vibrant flavors
Ingredients
Scale
4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1 can of full-fat coconut milk
1 medium lemon (zested and juiced)
2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley for a milder flavor)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 teaspoon of chili flakes for some heat
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk, lemon zest, and juice, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3: While the sauce simmers, season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in a lightly greased baking dish, ensuring they’re evenly spaced for optimal cooking.
Step 4: Pour the coconut lemon sauce over the cod fillets, making sure each piece is generously coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Once baked, sprinkle the cod with chopped cilantro (or parsley) and chili flakes if using.
