For the cod

  • 4 thick cod fillets
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough for the cod in one layer.
  • Pat cod fillets dry, season both sides with salt and black pepper, and place in the prepared dish.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat, sauté onion 4–5 minutes until translucent, then add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in coconut milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 3–4 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Pour the warm sauce over the cod and bake 20–25 minutes until the fish flakes easily and the sauce bubbles lightly.
