Equipment
- oven with broiler
Ingredients
Glaze:
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
Other Ingredients:
- 2 cod filets (5-6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced diagonally
Instructions
- Combine all glaze ingredients (soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds) in a small bowl.
- Place the cod filets in a glass dish. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Brush 1 tablespoon of the glaze over the cod filets. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes - 2 hours. Reserve the remaining glaze for cooking.
- Set the oven to low broil and position a rack in the center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If your broiler runs hotter than 450°F, use aluminum foil instead of parchment to help prevent burning.
- Place the cod filets on the lined sheet pan and brush with glaze.
- Broil on low for 12-14 minutes, brushing with glaze every 2-3 minutes, or until you run out of glaze. You can continue brushing the filets with the glaze on the pan as well.
- Turn the broiler on to high and broil for 4-5 more minutes, or until the outside is browned and the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F.
- Transfer the filets to a serving plate. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cod can be replaced with other white-fleshed fish like halibut, rockfish (or sea bass), black cod, lingcod, haddock, etc.
- For a citrusy twist on this recipe, you can replace the rice vinegar with lime juice.
- Honey adds a distinct flavor to the glaze, but you can use brown sugar or maple syrup instead.
- Green onions are an optional garnish for the fish. You can also add fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor and color.
- This recipe uses an oven with a broiler. The fish can also be cooked in a skillet on the stove or on a plank on the grill.
- To add some extra flavor, you can double the glaze recipe and reduce it in a small saucepan to serve alongside the fish.
