Instructions
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.
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.
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.
