Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets Cod (thick, white cod fillets)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 medium Onion sauté until translucent
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger grated
  • 1 can Coconut Milk (full-fat preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour the can of coconut milk into the skillet, followed by the lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir all the ingredients together and let it cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  6. Place the seasoned cod fillets in a baking dish. Pour the coconut lemon sauce over the fish, making sure to coat it well.
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the Baked Cod in Coconut Lemon Cream Sauce hot.
