Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ginger Lime Sauce:

   • Start by grating the lime zest into a small bowl.
   • Peel the ginger, then use a spoon to scrape off the fresh ginger pulp. Add it to the same bowl with the lime zest.
   • Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and mix to combine. This will create a vibrant sauce for the cod fillets.

2. Cook the Cod Fillets:

   • Place the cod fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
   • Season the fillets with salt and black pepper to taste.
   • Drizzle the ginger-lime sauce over the fillets for added flavor.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (428°F) for 25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

3. Prepare the Coconut Rice:

   • In a saucepan, combine the basmati rice, coconut milk, and coarse salt.
   • Add the water and stir in the Thai green curry powder.
   • Cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
   • Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid, remove the pan from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.

4. Assemble and Serve:

   • Once the cod fillets are cooked, remove them from the oven and serve alongside the fragrant coconut rice.
   • Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Enjoy this flavorful and fragrant meal that combines the freshness of lime and ginger with the richness of coconut-infused rice. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying dinner!
