With minimal cleanup required, you can spend more time enjoying your meal and less time in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cod fillets (5–6 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)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (optional for thickened glaze)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined.
  2. Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over them and let sit for 15–30 minutes.
  3. To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated cod on a parchment-lined baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes until flaky.
  4. To pan-sear: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated cod for about 3–4 minutes on each side, spooning extra marinade over while cooking.
  5. Optional glaze: Simmer leftover marinade in a saucepan; stir in cornstarch mixed with water until thickened.
  6. Serve with prepared sauce and garnish as desired.
