Description
A simple recipe for cod fillets coated in a sweet and savory ginger soy glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to make the glaze.
- Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the cod fillets.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the fish from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
- Return the fish to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Quickly sear the glazed sides of the cod for 30 seconds each, if desired, for extra color.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute cod with other firm white fish like halibut or tilapia.
- For a thicker glaze, simmer the glaze mixture on the stovetop for 2 minutes before brushing it on the fish.
