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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the cod fillets evenly.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and lemon juice until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate Cod: Place cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Bake Cod: Arrange the marinated fillets on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining marinade, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Toast Sesame Seeds (Optional): In a skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  6. Serve: Plate the baked cod fillets and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Marinating the cod enhances the flavor but avoid over-marinating as too much acid can affect the fish texture.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels in this recipe.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • Ensure the baking sheet is well-greased or lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Fresh ginger adds the best flavor, but ground ginger can be used in a pinch (use about 1 teaspoon).
