# Instructions:

01 - In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in curry powder, turmeric, ginger, and chili powder (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices. Pour in the coconut milk and simmer. Stir in lime juice, salt, pepper, and honey (if using). Let simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

03 - Pour the coconut curry sauce over the cod fillets, ensuring each is well-coated. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.
04 - Remove the dish from the oven. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and serve with lime wedges on the side for added freshness.
