Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing them until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once the onion and garlic are fragrant, sprinkle in 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder, stirring well for about 1 minute.
  4. Carefully pour in one can of coconut milk, stirring continuously to combine; bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Arrange cod fillets in a lightly greased baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  6. Pour sauce over the arranged cod fillets, using a spoon to coat each piece generously.
  7. Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
  8. After removing from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro or chives and serve warm.
