The combination of creamy coconut milk and aromatic spices creates a rich and comforting sauce that perfectly complements the tender cod fillets. Baking the cod in the curry sauce allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a delicious and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

For the Cod

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce – Make the Curry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the Spices: Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, ginger, and chili powder (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom. Add Coconut Milk and Lime: Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in lime juice, salt, pepper, and honey (if using). Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  2. Prepare the Cod – Prepare the Cod Fillets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Arrange the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer. Pour the Sauce: Pour the coconut curry sauce evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
  3. Bake the Cod – Bake the Cod: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve with lime wedges on the side for added freshness.

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • Feel free to adjust the spice levels to suit your taste preferences.
