Instructions

  1. 01

    Prepare the Fish: Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.

  2. 02

    Make the Shallot-Ginger Paste: Blend shallots and fresh ginger into a smooth paste using a small grinder or food processor. Measure out 2 teaspoons for the recipe and refrigerate any excess.

  3. 03

    Prepare the Marinade: In the same grinder, combine 2 teaspoons of shallot-ginger paste, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, coconut oil, curry leaves, and salt. Process into a smooth marinade.

  4. 04

    Marinate the Fish: Rub the marinade onto both sides of the cod fillets, ensuring even coating. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  5. 05

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

  6. 06

    Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush with oil.

  7. 07

    Bake the Cod: Place marinated fillets on the baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes, until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  8. 08

    Serve: Serve the baked cod over steamed white rice, garnished with curry leaves or a lemon wedge (optional).
