Fish in coconut milk
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I don't know if such a dish exists in any national cuisine, but my family really enjoyed it. Coconut milk pairs remarkably well with white fish, making the fish in coconut milk very tasty—tender, juicy, and not bitter at all. Perhaps this method could even work for lake or river fish—surely it would be delicious. Good luck! The dish is ready to be served.

Step 5
Place the fish in a heatproof dish (no need to grease with butter), then pour the prepared mixture over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, and let it marinate for about 2–3 hours. Then bake for approximately 35 minutes at 200°C and serve, sprinkled with fresh coriander. Enjoy!
