Ingredients
  

4 (6 oz) cod fillets

1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. If you want a thicker glaze, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add to the marinade; stir until combined.

    Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the cod, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later use. Let the cod marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

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

        Bake the Cod: Remove the cod from the marinade and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cod flakes easily with a fork.

          Heat the Glaze: While the cod is baking, take the reserved marinade and cook it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened (especially if you used cornstarch). Remove from heat.

            Serve: Once the cod is done, drizzle the cooked glaze over the fillets. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up all the delicious flavors.
