Instructions

Creating Baked Cod in Coconut Lemon Cream Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
2. Prepare Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce (if using). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
3. Season Cod: While the sauce is simmering, season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides and place them in the prepared baking dish.
4. Add Sauce: Pour the coconut lemon sauce over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.
7. Serve: Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra splash of citrus.
