Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Yellow curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 piece Green chilies (sliced, optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Parchment paper or aluminum foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine coconut milk, curry powder, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the curry sauce.

Step 3

Cut four large sheets of parchment paper or aluminum foil (each roughly 15x15 inches). Brush each sheet lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place one fish fillet in the center of each sheet of parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the curry sauce over each fish fillet, ensuring the sauce completely coats the fish.

Step 6

If using green chilies, add a few slices on top of each fillet for extra heat.

Step 7

Fold the parchment paper or foil around the fish to create a sealed packet. Ensure all edges are tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping.

Step 8

Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam) and sprinkle the cooked fish with fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve immediately with steamed rice, naan, or a side of your choice.
