Ingredients
Marinade and Glaze
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Cod
- 4 fillets cod about 6 oz / 170 g each
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
- sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
Marinate the Cod
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over the cod, ensuring the fillets are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for the glaze.
- Cover and refrigerate the cod for 15-20 minutes.
Cook the Cod
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the cod from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Glaze
- In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Glaze and Serve
- Spoon the thickened glaze over the cooked cod fillets.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or vegetables.
