Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Make the Ginger Soy Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until fully blended. This glaze will add a sweet and savory flavor to the cod.
Coat the Cod Fillets: Place the cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush, evenly coat each fillet generously with the ginger soy glaze, ensuring they are well-covered to absorb maximum flavor.
Bake the Cod: Bake the coated cod fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Be careful not to overcook to maintain moisture.
Plate the Cod: Carefully remove the cod from the oven and transfer the fillets onto serving plates.
Garnish: Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and freshly chopped cilantro over the cod fillets for added flavor and presentation.
Serve: Serve the glazed cod immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side to add a bright, tangy contrast when squeezed over the fish. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh, high-quality cod fillets.
Marinate the cod in the ginger soy glaze for 15-30 minutes prior to baking to enhance the taste.
Watch the fish carefully while baking; it is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
This dish pairs well with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
