Ingredients

4 individual cod fillets about 1 ½ pounds total
Salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons curry paste
Chopped fresh cilantro amount to taste

Instructions

Preheat and prep. Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together coconut milk, ginger and curry paste until smooth. Pour a thin layer of sauce into a large baking dish. Place fish on top, and pour remaining sauce into the pan.
Arrange and bake. Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Arrange the cod fillets on top, then pour the remaining sauce over the fish.
Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, or until the cod is fully opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and serve. Remove fish from oven and top with fresh cilantro before serving with a generous portion of sauce.
