This one pan baked cod dish with broccoli and noodles in a rich coconut broth is SO easy to make, and tastes delicious too!
One pan dishes are a big favourite of mine, and this recipe was so much fun to put together. There is nothing better on a weeknight than a meal you can throw in one pan – carbs, protein, veg and all – and let it cook while you get on with other things (or just have a relax).
The noodles in this dish are cooked in the broth underneath the fish and come out perfectly, and packed full of flavour from that amazing broth. Give this one a try – you’ll get lovely flaky cod, al dente broccoli and that broth that you will want to drink!

One Pan Baked Cod and Noodles – The Ingredients
- Coconut milk, garlic, fish sauce, palm sugar, turmeric – these flavours make your coconut broth. Use full fat coconut milk for the best taste. Palm sugar can be switched for light brown sugar if needed. You could also add some chilli here if you fancy it spicy.
- Noodles – any dried noodles will work here. I used rice noodles but you could use medium noodles, dried udon noodles or even ramen noodles (unflavoured). Whichever noodles you use, just make sure you break them up into small pieces before cooking.
- Cod fillets – cod works nicely here because it reacts so well to baking. It goes perfectly flaky while still staying moist.
- Broccoli – you could use purple sprouting or tender stem broccoli.
- Coriander – fresh coriander adds so much freshness and vibrancy- but if you aren’t a fan, you can leave it off.
