Sauce
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your cod evenly.
- Prepare the cod: Place the cod fillets in a baking dish and season both sides with salt and pepper according to your taste preference, ensuring balanced seasoning.
