  • Marinate the Cod:
    Coat the cod fillets evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
  • Cook the Fish:
    You can bake, grill, or pan-sear the cod. For baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cook the fish for about 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with basmati rice, naan, or a crisp side salad. A drizzle of mint chutney or a squeeze of lime can add an extra layer of freshness.

    • Tips for Success:

    • Use thick fillets to prevent overcooking.
    • For a smoky flavor reminiscent of traditional tandoor ovens, finish the cod under a broiler or on an outdoor grill.
    • If you’re avoiding dairy, coconut yogurt makes a great substitute.
