Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Cod fillets
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the cod fillets completely dry with paper towels. Note: Excess water creates steam, which prevents the sauce from clinging.
  2. Lightly grease your 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil to stop any sticking.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and turmeric. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the turmeric is fully incorporated.
  4. Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Season both sides of each fillet with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  6. Pour the coconut lemon mixture evenly over the fillets. Ensure they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Wait until the flesh is opaque white and flakes easily with a fork, and you see the sauce bubbling around the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the fish rest in the sauce for 3 minutes before serving.
