Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
- 1/4 cup diced shallots (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, olive oil, curry powder, turmeric, ginger, chili powder, garlic, and lime juice until smooth.
- Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and place in the baking dish.
- Scatter red bell pepper slices over the fish if using.
- Pour coconut curry sauce evenly over the fillets until coated halfway.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro or parsley, and serve immediately with rice or vegetables.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, reduce coconut milk by 2 oz and add 1/4 cup broth. Pat fish dry before baking to prevent excess moisture. Use fresh curry powder for the best flavor, and taste your sauce before baking to adjust seasoning.
