1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp honey
04 -
2 tbsp rice vinegar

# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until well combined.
03 -
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the soy ginger glaze evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
04 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
05 -
Remove the cod fillets from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor impact. Avoid using powdered versions, as they can alter the texture of the glaze.
02 -
If you want a thicker glaze, reduce it in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches your desired consistency.
03 -
Avoid overcooking the cod to keep it tender and flaky. Cod is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
04 -
For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
05 -
If soy sauce is too salty, use low-sodium soy sauce instead.
