Ingredients
4 cod fillets
1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the coconut curry sauce over the fish. Make sure the fillets are fully covered with the sauce.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
For a spicier version, add more red curry paste or chopped fresh chilies.
If you prefer, you can swap the cod for tofu or a different firm white fish like halibut.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
