Description
This Ginger Soy Glazed Cod recipe features tender cod fillets marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey, then baked to perfection and garnished with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Ingredients
- cod fillets – 4 pieces (about 150-200 grams each)
- soy sauce – 1/4 cup (60 ml)
- fresh ginger – 2 tablespoons, grated
- garlic – 2 cloves, minced
- honey – 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
- sesame oil – 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
- green onions – 2, sliced (for garnish)
- sesame seeds – 1 tablespoon, toasted (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Marinate the cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the cod, ensuring that each fillet is well coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Bake the cod: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Remove the cod from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Glaze the cod: Bake the cod in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through baking, brush the reserved marinade over the fillets.
- Toast the sesame seeds: While the cod is baking, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer the cod to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Enjoy with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade.
- For a thicker glaze, simmer the marinade in a small saucepan until reduced before brushing it on the cod.
