1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and ginger. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.
3. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides and place them in the prepared baking dish.
4. Pour the coconut lemon sauce over the cod fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remember, cooking times might vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

It was in these quiet moments, waiting for the oven timer, that I learned the art of patience from my grandmother. Letting the dish rest allows the flavors to settle and ensures every bite is as flavorful as the last.
