This Grilled Asian Cod recipe with Soy Ginger Glaze is a mouthwatering dish that brings together the flavors of the East. The cod fillets are marinated in a delicious combination of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey, which impart a wonderful umami taste. The fish is then grilled to perfection, resulting in a tender and flaky texture. Serve this dish with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce to make the marinade.
  2. Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the cod fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. While grilling, brush the reserved marinade on the fish to enhance the flavor. Be sure to discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw fish.
  6. Once cooked, remove the cod from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve the Grilled Asian Cod hot with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
