Instructions

Prepare the ginger soy glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.
Cook the cod: Season cod fillets with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cod and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and flaky.
Add the glaze: Reduce heat to low and pour the ginger soy glaze over the cooked cod. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the fish evenly.
Serve: Transfer the cod to plates and drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice, vegetables, or a light salad.

Notes

You can substitute cod with haddock, halibut, or tilapia.
The glaze can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For extra heat, stir in red pepper flakes or sriracha to the glaze.
