Instructions
Creating Ginger Soy Glazed Cod is both simple and satisfying. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, minced ginger, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes (up to 30 for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Cod: Remove the cod fillets from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place them in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Make the Glaze: While the cod is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then let simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened slightly.
6. Glaze the Cod: Once the cod is cooked, drizzle the thickened marinade over the fillets in the pan, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
7. Serve Immediately: Transfer the cod to a plate, pour the glaze over it, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
