300 milliliters coconut milk

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it is ready for baking the cod.

Season the cod fillets evenly with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion until translucent. Stir in fresh ginger and crushed garlic, cooking until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Mix in the lemon zest and juice, ensuring the flavors combine.

Arrange the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer within a baking dish. Pour the coconut-lemon cream sauce over the fillets. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the baked cod from the oven and serve with the sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with a side of rice or vegetables for a complete meal.

01 -
Check if the cod is done by pressing the thickest part with a fork; it should flake easily and appear opaque.

For smoother sauce texture after adding lemon juice, whisk vigorously to recombine.
