Ingredients
For the Cod:
- 21 oz / 600 grams cod fillets
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Cream Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 1.2 cups / 300 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 large organic lemon (juice and zest)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) so it’s ready for baking once the sauce is prepared.
Step 2: Season the Cod
Pat the cod fillets dry and season them with salt and black pepper to taste. Ensure each fillet is evenly coated for enhanced flavor.
Step 3: Prepare the Coconut-Lemon Cream Sauce
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the grated ginger and crushed garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the lemon zest and juice, stirring well to combine the flavors.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Dish
Place the seasoned cod fillets in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the coconut-lemon cream sauce over them, ensuring they are well covered.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, drizzling the creamy sauce over the cod. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
