Instructions
Creating the Ginger Soy Glazed Cod is a simple process when following these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until well blended.
2. Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil if desired. Allow the skillet to heat up before adding the marinated cod.
4. Cook the Cod: Remove the cod from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later). Place the fillets in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet after flipping the cod. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and coat the fish.
6. Prepare for Serving: Once cooked, transfer the cod to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an added touch.
8. Serve: Plate alongside your choice of rice or quinoa to complete the meal.
