4 from 6 reviews

Honey-Soy Glazed Cod is a delicious Asian-inspired dish featuring flaky cod filets caramelized with a sweet and savory honey-soy glaze infused with fresh ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. This easy recipe is broiled to perfection, resulting in tender, flavorful fish with a beautifully browned glaze, garnished with fresh green onions for a vibrant finish.

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds

Other Ingredients:

  • 2 cod filets (5-6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced diagonally

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, and sesame seeds. Stir well until fully blended.
  2. Prep the cod: Place the cod filets in a glass dish and pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Marinate the fish: Brush 1 tablespoon of the glaze evenly over each cod filet. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate. Reserve the remaining glaze for cooking.
  4. Arrange for broiling: Preheat your oven to low broil and position the rack in the center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil (use foil if your broiler runs hotter than 450°F to avoid burning).
  5. Glaze and broil: Place the marinated cod filets on the lined sheet pan and brush with the reserved glaze. Broil on low for 12-14 minutes, brushing additional glaze every 2-3 minutes until you run out.
  6. Finish with high broil: Increase the broiler to high and continue broiling for an additional 4-5 minutes until the exterior is nicely browned and the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F, ensuring the cod is cooked through but still moist.
  7. Serve: Transfer the cod to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy your beautifully glazed cod!

Notes

  • Patting the cod dry before glazing helps the glaze stick better and promotes caramelization.
  • Marinating the fish for longer (up to 2 hours) intensifies the flavor but can be shortened if needed.
  • Use aluminum foil instead of parchment if your broiler is very hot to prevent burning the glaze.
  • Monitor the fish closely during broiling to prevent overcooking; cod is best when tender and flaky.
  • The internal temperature of 135-140°F ensures the fish is moist and cooked safely.
  • Pair this dish with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a balanced meal.
