Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cod fillets (5–6 oz each)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1½ tsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
- Place cod fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for 15–30 minutes.
