Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 4 cod fillets (6 oz each)
Marinade
- 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Garnish
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the cod.
- Prepare marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, grated fresh ginger, and lemon juice until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, making sure they are well coated. Let the fish marinate for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange and glaze: Arrange the marinated cod fillets on a greased baking sheet. Brush the remaining marinade evenly over the tops of the fillets for extra flavor during baking.
- Bake fish: Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Optional toast sesame seeds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Serve: Serve the baked cod garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a colorful and tasty finish.
Notes
- Marinating time can be adjusted; do not exceed 30 minutes to keep the fish texture tender.
- Low-sodium soy sauce helps control salt content but you can use regular soy sauce if preferred.
- To toast sesame seeds, watch closely to avoid burning as they toast quickly.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
