Ingredients

  • 4 pieces cod fillets
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 fresh lime
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade by whisking soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl until glossy and fragrant.
  • Place cod fillets in a shallow dish and coat with half the marinade. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade for glazing.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, adding a little oil if needed. Cook the cod for 3–4 minutes per side, until opaque and flaky.
  • Pour in the reserved marinade and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes, spooning it over the fish as it thickens into a glaze.
  • Transfer to a serving plate, then garnish with sesame seeds, cilantro, and green onions. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving.
