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.
