Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 pieces cod fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Optional Substitutions:

  • If soy sauce is too salty, substitute with low-sodium soy sauce.
  • Replace honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • If you’re avoiding garlic, try using shallots for a milder flavor.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 3: Coat the Cod Fillets

Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the soy ginger glaze evenly over each fillet, making sure they are well coated.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove the cod fillets from the oven and transfer them to serving plates. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor impact. Avoid using powdered versions, as they can alter the texture of the glaze.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, reduce it in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Avoid overcooking the cod to keep it tender and flaky. Cod is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
