- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)

- Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in a baking dish. Pour the coconut lemon cream sauce over the cod.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
Ensure even cooking by using fillets of similar thickness. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes into the sauce for a gentle heat. Experiment with herbs like dill or cilantro for different flavors. Leftover cod can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
