A delectable dish that transforms cod fillets with a rich ginger soy glaze, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring this mix to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- While the glaze simmers, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
- Add the seasoned cod fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the ginger soy glaze over the fish. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to absorb.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
Notes
For added heat, a splash of sriracha can be included. Marinating the cod in the glaze for 30 minutes enhances flavor. Ensure the skillet is hot for a perfect crust.
