Ingredients
  

For the Cod
  • 4 pieces Cod Fillets The main protein that’s tender and flaky when baked.
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Adds umami and saltiness; switch for tamari for a gluten-free option.
For the Glaze
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated Provides a distinct spicy-sweet flavor; can substitute with ground ginger (1 tsp).
  • 2 tbsp Honey Balances the saltiness for a perfect sweet-savory mix; maple syrup can be an alternative for a vegan version.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the flavor; lime juice works well as a substitute.
For Garnish
  • 2 pieces Green Onions, chopped Adds freshness and a delightful crunch; chives can serve as a mild alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds Provides nuttiness and a lovely finishing touch; omit if not available.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, honey, and lemon juice until fully combined.
  3. Place the cod fillets into a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over the top. Allow to marinate for 15–30 minutes.
  4. Once marinated, remove the cod fillets and lay them on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until flaky and tender, and the glaze is caramelized.
  6. (Optional) Toast sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven, drizzle with leftover marinade, garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with steamed rice or quinoa.
