Ingredients

– 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To create the Easy Ginger Soy Cod, follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Cod: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk well until fully mixed. Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a little oil.

3. Cook the Cod: Remove the cod from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later). Place the fillets in the hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.

4. Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the cooked cod from the skillet and set aside. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet. If using, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the marinade. Cook for a few minutes until thickened.

5. Serve the Dish: Return the cod to the skillet, spooning the thickened sauce over the top. Cook for an additional minute before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch.
