Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce fish fillets (cod, halibut, or sea bass) About 1-inch thick
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce Or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil For pan-searing method
  • 2 green onions, sliced For garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Baking Dish
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Set aside.
  2. Pat the fish fillets completely dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place fish in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden. Flip the fillets, pour in the sauce, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, spooning sauce over the fish, until it flakes easily.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange fish fillets in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the fish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Garnish the cooked fish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: Do not overcook the fish. Check for doneness at the minimum cooking time. The fish should be opaque and flake easily.
Tip 2: For the best crispy skin when pan-searing, ensure the fish is patted completely dry and your pan is hot before adding the fillets.
