Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Ginger Soy Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
Glaze the Cod:
Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the ginger soy glaze, ensuring they’re well coated with the flavorful mixture.
Bake the Cod:
Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be sure not to overcook the fish to keep it tender and juicy.
Garnish and Serve:
Once the cod is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a tangy burst of freshness.

Notes

Fresh Cod: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality cod fillets. If you can, get your cod from a trusted seafood supplier.
Marinate for More Flavor: For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the cod fillets in the ginger soy glaze for 15-30 minutes before baking.
Watch the Baking Time: Cod can dry out quickly, so keep an eye on it while baking. It’s done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Perfect Pairings: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
