Description

This baked cod recipe combines tender cod fillets with a creamy coconut sauce, enhanced by fresh lemon and ginger for a flavorful and health-conscious meal.


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.
