Ingredients
Scale
4 cod fillets (fresh or thawed, approximately 6 oz each)
1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (fresh is best!)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and honey. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and stir for about 5 minutes until well combined and fragrant.
While the sauce simmers, season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a baking dish, arrange the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer. Pour the warm coconut lemon sauce over the top, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the dish with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately.
