Ingredients
  

4 cod fillets (6 ounces each)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Steamed vegetables, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Cod: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

      Prepare the Cod for Baking: Once marinated, remove the cod from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade for later use.

        Bake the Cod: Season the cod lightly with salt and pepper (remember the marinade is already salty!) and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

          Make the Glaze: While the fish is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the cod is done baking, drizzle the reduced glaze over each fillet. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the Ginger Soy Glazed Cod over warm rice or quinoa, with steamed vegetables on the side if desired.
