Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh scallions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade:
    Whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a bowl.

  2. Marinate Cod:
    Place cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

  3. Cook the Fish:
    Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook cod fillets 3-4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. Reserve marinade.

  4. Prepare Glaze:
    Simmer reserved marinade in a saucepan for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Serve:
    Drizzle glaze over cooked cod, garnish with fresh scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Avoid over-marinating; 20 minutes to 1 hour is ideal.
  • Ensure the pan is hot before cooking to achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Gently flip cod once to prevent breaking.
  • For best texture and flavor, serve immediately after cooking.
