Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Stir well.
Layer the cod fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they're well-coated.
Let the cod marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Season the cod with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cod is opaque and flaky.
Garnish with freshly sliced green onion before serving.

Notes

Serve with fluffy rice or steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
