Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (5–6 oz each)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1½ tsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
- 2. Marinate the cod fillets in the mixture for 15–30 minutes in a shallow dish or resealable bag.
- 3. To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated cod on a parchment-lined baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. To pan-sear: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook each fillet for about 3–4 minutes per side, spooning extra marinade over top while cooking.
- 4. For an optional glaze, simmer leftover marinade in a saucepan until thickened with cornstarch mixed with water.
