Ingredients
Cod fillets, 4 portions of 6 ounces each
Olive oil, 1 tablespoon
Garlic cloves, 2–3, minced
Shallot, 1 small, minced
Coconut milk, unsweetened, full-fat, 1 cup
Coconut cream, optional, 2 tablespoons
Lemon zest, from 1 lemon
Lemon juice, from 1 lemon
Chicken stock or vegetable stock, 1/4 cup
White wine, optional, 1/4 cup
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Butter, 1 tablespoon
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch or arrowroot, 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly oil a baking dish and set aside.
Season cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then set aside while you prep the sauce.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced shallot and garlic; sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Avoid browning for a clean, citrusy finish.
Pour in the white wine (if using) and simmer 1–2 minutes to cook off the alcohol and concentrate the flavors.
Stir in coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 4–5 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens and the flavors meld. If you want more body, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 minutes more.
Optional: whisk in coconut cream for extra silkiness. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Arrange cod in the baking dish and pour the coconut lemon sauce around and over the fish. Bake 12–15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork; spoon some sauce over the fillets halfway through for maximum flavor.
Remove from the oven, swirl in the butter until glossy, and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately with your preferred sides.
Notes
Cozy citrus-kissed cod that tastes like a vacation in a skillet. This baked cod swims in a pool of coconut lemon cream, with bright zest and a kiss of garlic, and it bakes to flaky perfection while filling your kitchen with sunshine.
