Ingredients
  

4 (6 oz) cod fillets

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste (optional, for a spicy hint)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

    Prepare Cod Fillets: Season the cod fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Place them in the greased baking dish.

      Make Coconut Lemon Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and Thai red curry paste (if using) until well combined.

        Combine and Pour: Pour the coconut lemon cream sauce over the seasoned cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

          Bake the Cod: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
