Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless cod fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for a touch of sweetness)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
- Fresh scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, honey (if using), minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Add the cod fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Carefully place the marinated cod fillets in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Baste with marinade occasionally.
- Transfer the cooked cod to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with rice, quinoa, or vegetables.
Notes
- Marinate the fish for a minimum of 15 minutes for best flavor.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
- Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Garnish with additional sesame seeds or a squeeze of lemon for extra flavor.
