Method

1
Prep the ingredients
On a cutting board, cut the cod into four portions, finely grate the ginger, mince the garlic, juice the limes, and thinly slice the scallion.
Tip: Pat the cod dry before cooking so the sauce clings to it.
2
Cook the rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice with 600 ml water and bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce to low, and cook.
16 min
3
Warm the aromatics
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and stir constantly.
3 min
Tip: Garlic can burn quickly, so have the coconut milk ready to add.
4
Simmer the cod
Pour the coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice into the skillet over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cod and spoon sauce over it.
9 min
Tip: Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer; boiling can break the fish into small pieces.
5
Taste and serve
Taste the sauce and adjust salt and black pepper. Spoon the cod and sauce over the rice, then scatter the sliced scallion over the bowls.
Tip: Bring extra lime to the table for anyone who likes a sharper finish.
