Creating Baked Cod in Coconut Lemon Cream Sauce is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Mix the Sauce: Pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice, and zest. Add soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Bake the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the coconut lemon sauce over the fish, ensuring it’s well-coated.
5. Bake: Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
7. Serve: Serve warm over a bed of rice or quinoa, drizzling extra sauce over the top.
