Directions
- 1Pat the cod fillets very dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper. Dry fish sears better and stays flaky.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar (or lime juice), ginger, garlic, and cornstarch if using. Set aside so the flavors blend.
- 3Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 4Add the cod fillets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them, until lightly golden.
- 5Turn carefully and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the fish flakes easily.
- 6Lower the heat.
- 7Pour the sauce into the pan and spoon it over the cod as it simmers for 1 to 2 minutes. The sauce should coat the fish softly, not boil hard.
- 8Transfer the cod to plates over hot rice.
- 9Spoon extra sauce on top and finish with green onions and sesame seeds if you like.
