Description

This Coconut Curry Baked Cod combines tender cod fillets with a rich, creamy coconut curry sauce. It’s quick to prepare, healthy, and full of flavor, making it a perfect meal for both weeknights and special occasions.


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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. 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.
