Instructions
Creating Baked Cod in Coconut Lemon Cream Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the cod bakes evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Mix the Coconut Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Arrange the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the coconut sauce mixture evenly over the top of the fillets.
5. Bake the Cod: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices for a fresh touch.
7. Serve: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld beautifully.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have a delicious and impressive meal ready to enjoy.
