A quick and easy recipe for ginger soy glazed cod that is perfect for meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) cod fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until well combined.
- In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cod fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Pour the ginger soy glaze over the cod fillets in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fish until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the cod rest for a minute. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- Serve the cod over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, and add steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
