Ingredients

Scale

For the Coconut Curry Sauce

  • 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

For the Fish

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley
  • A pinch of chili powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the fish.
  2. Make the curry sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, olive oil, curry powder, ground turmeric, ground ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper, and honey if using, until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the cod fillets. Place the cod fillets evenly in a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
  4. Pour the sauce. Pour the prepared coconut curry sauce evenly over the cod fillets, making sure they are well coated.
  5. Bake the cod. Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  6. Garnish and serve. Once baked, garnish the cod with fresh cilantro or parsley and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired, then serve hot for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder as preferred.
  • Use fresh lime juice for a brighter flavor.
  • Substitute cod with other white flaky fish like haddock or tilapia if needed.
  • The honey is optional but adds a nice balance to the spice and acidity.
  • Ensure the fish is cooked through but not overbaked to keep it moist and tender.
