Coriander-Kissed Cod with Coconut-Lime Cream
This dish is a delightful fusion of flavors that will transport you to the tropics. The cod is marinated in a fragrant blend of coriander, salt, and pepper, then roasted to perfection. The coconut-lime cream sauce is the perfect complement, with its rich and tangy flavors. This dish is easy to make and perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal.
The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a trip to Thailand. I was wandering through a bustling market when I came across a stall selling fresh cod. The fish looked so beautiful, and I couldn't resist buying some. I asked the vendor how to cook it, and she gave me a simple recipe that I have been using ever since. When I got back home, I started experimenting with different ways to cook the cod. I tried it grilled, pan-fried, and baked. But my favorite way to cook it is roasted. Roasting gives the cod a crispy exterior and a moist and flaky interior. The coconut-lime cream sauce is also a key part of this dish. The coconut milk adds a rich and creamy flavor, while the lime juice adds a touch of acidity. The cilantro adds a fresh and herbaceous flavor that brightens up the dish. This dish is a favorite of mine, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
