Ingredients

  • 2–3 cod fillets (fresh or thawed if frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for searing)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat the cod fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the cod fillets for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Pour the glaze into the skillet and let it bubble around the fish, spooning it over the fillets.
  6. If desired, stir in a cornstarch slurry and simmer until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Serve the cod hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap cod with halibut, tilapia, or salmon if preferred.
  • Add veggies like bok choy or snap peas for a one-pan meal.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the fish.
  • For more heat, add a splash of sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
