  • to taste Pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the coconut milk, lemon juice, and zest, and season with salt and pepper.
Baking
  1. Place the cod fillets in a baking dish and pour the coconut lemon sauce over them.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

For best results, don't overbake the cod; it should flake easily but still be moist. You can also swap cod for shrimp or chicken if desired.
