  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (56 oz each)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1½ tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
  2. Place cod fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking. For baking: place cod on a parchment-lined baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes until flaky. For pan-searing: heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook cod for about 3–4 minutes per side.
  4. Optional: For a glaze, simmer leftover marinade in a saucepan until thickened.
  5. Serve the cooked cod garnished with green onions and sesame seeds alongside your choice of sides.
