Ginger Soy Cod (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - Green onions, chopped for topping
02 - Sesame seeds for sprinkling on top
03 - 4 fillets of cod (each 150-170g)
04 - 60ml soy sauce (low-sodium)
05 - 15ml toasted sesame oil
06 - 30ml honey or maple syrup, your choice
07 - 15ml rice vinegar
08 - 7g ginger, freshly grated
09 - 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 - 5g cornstarch mixed into 15ml water, if thicker sauce is preferred
11 - Spicy options: a little sriracha or red pepper flakes (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Get a bowl and stir together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, garlic bits, and grated ginger until smooth.
02 - Lay cod fillets in a dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade all over and leave it to soak for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 - Warm your oven to 200°C. Put the cod on a baking sheet with parchment paper, then bake for 12-15 minutes until flaky with a fork.
04 - Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the cod for 3-4 minutes on each side, occasionally spooning leftover marinade over the top.
05 - Pour the leftover marinade into a small pot and let it simmer. Mix in the slurry if you want it thicker, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
06 - Put the cooked cod on plates, pour some sauce on top, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap cod for halibut, snapper, or tilapia.
02 - For Whole30, skip the sweetener and swap soy sauce with coconut aminos.
03 - Want more heat? Add sriracha or pepper flakes while marinating.
04 - Don't marinate longer than 30 minutes; cod is delicate and might break apart.
05 - Leftovers are great added to rice bowls or turned into tacos the next day.
