Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by patting the cod fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the best sear. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, and honey or brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Once hot, add the cod fillets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side.
Gently flip the cod fillets and pour the prepared sauce over the fish. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Transfer the cooked cod onto serving plates and pair with rice or vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
