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.
