Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 cod fillets
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish:
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 400F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil into a smooth, fragrant marinade.
- Arrange your 2 cod fillets in a clean baking dish, making sure they do not overlap.
- Generously pour the entire marinade directly over the cod, ensuring each fillet gets completely coated with the ginger soy mixture.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and roast for exactly 15-20 minutes, watching for the fish to turn opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the cod rest for 2 minutes to absorb the final flavors.
- Sprinkle 2 finely chopped green onions across the top of the fish as a fresh, crisp finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Swap cod for other mild white fish like halibut or sea bass if cod isn’t available at your market.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce to keep the same rich flavor profile.
- Marinate the cod for 15-30 minutes before baking to help the fish absorb more of the delicious ginger soy glaze.
- Check fish doneness by gently pressing the thickest part – it should flake easily and appear opaque white throughout.
