Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  7. Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

For extra heat, add sliced red chilies or a dash of chili flakes to the curry sauce before baking.
