Ingredients
  

Cod

  • 1.5 lbs cod fillets patted dry, skin removed
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk 13.5 oz can
  • 1 lemon lemon zest
  • 1 lemon lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Cod

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season cod with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, then sear cod 2 minutes per side until golden.

Sauce & Bake

  • Remove cod to a plate. Add shallot and garlic to the skillet and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in wine and cook 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits.
  • Stir in coconut milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Nestle cod back in the sauce and spoon sauce over fillets.
  • Bake 12–15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Notes

After baking, let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
For a thinner sauce, whisk in a splash of coconut milk off heat before serving.
