Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fillet
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. In a shallow baking dish, combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine.
  2. Add the cod fillet to the dish and turn to coat evenly in the marinade. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, carefully add the cod fillet and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through.
  5. Remove the cod from the pot and let cool slightly. Place on a serving plate and top with the green onions.
  6. Serve immediately with steamed rice and your favorite vegetable side dish.
