Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each), fresh or thawed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
- Steamed rice or vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated cod fillets carefully and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until opaque and easily flaked with a fork.
- Transfer cooked cod to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier, low-salt option.
- Marinate the fish up to 24 hours ahead for enhanced flavor.
- Cook in a gentle, careful manner to prevent breaking the delicate fish.
- Serve with fresh vegetables or rice for a balanced meal.
