Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
  • This glaze will enhance the cod’s flavor and act as a marinade.

3. Coat the Cod Fillets

  • Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the glaze evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are thoroughly coated for a rich flavor.

4. Bake the Cod

  • Bake the cod for 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is fully cooked.
  • The fish should be opaque and tender, with a lightly caramelized glaze.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer the baked cod to serving plates.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with lime wedges for a tangy finish and pair with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Miso-Glazed Cod: Mix 1 tablespoon white miso paste into the glaze for deeper umami notes.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Grilled Cod: Brush the glaze on the fillets and grill over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side.
