Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the cod fillets, ensuring they're well-coated.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in coconut milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
Place cod fillets in a baking dish in a single layer and pour the coconut lemon sauce over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cod flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque.
Let the cod rest for a few minutes before serving, drizzling any extra sauce over the top.
