Ingredients
  

Asian Cod

  • 2 Cod Filets
  • ¼ c Soy Sauce
  • 2 T Sesame Oil
  • 2 T Rice Vinegar
  • 2 T Honey
  • 1 T Minced Garlic
  • Pinch of S&P
  • 1 Lemon

Garnish

  • 1 Green Onion
  • Lemon Wedge

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450F degrees.
  • Thaw the pieces of cod to at least 75% not-frozen, then with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel dry all sides of the fish extremely well. Set aside.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spray the paper with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Allow the oven to preheat for at least 10 minutes.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the condiments and whisk to combine.
  • Using tongs, add cod to the bowl and turn the cod several times to coat. 
  • Let cod sit in the bowl for five minutes undisturbed.
  • Place the cod on the baking sheet. 
  • With a pastry brush, brush the cod with remaining marinade. 
  • Cut the lemon into wheels and place a slice of lemon on top of each piece of fish.
  • Slide the pan with fish into the oven.
  • While the cod filets are baking, cut or snip the dark green part of the green onion into small sections and set aside.
  • Allow the baked cod to sit on the pan undisturbed for two minutes.
  • The fish should easily flake with a fork. If the middle is still opaque, put back in the oven for two more minutes. Don’t overcook; it will finish cooking on the pan.
  • Plate, garnish with the dark green part of the green onions, and add a lemon wedge to the side.
