Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh cod fillets
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gin extract (or non-alcoholic alternative)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of gin extract (or your non-alcoholic alternative), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Place your cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the cod cooks evenly and develops that beautiful glaze.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Remove the cod from the marinade and place the fillets on the baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through, brush the fillets with the reserved marinade to enhance the glaze.
- For an extra caramelized finish, switch to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the cod from the oven, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.

Keywords: Cod can become tough if overcooked, so keep an eye on it while baking. Feel free to add other flavor components to the marinade, such as a dash of chili flakes for heat or a splash of citrus juice for brightness.
