Instructions

Pat cod fillets dry and season with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear cod fillets for 3–4 minutes on one side until golden. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
Reduce heat and pour sauce over the fillets. Spoon sauce over fish as it simmers and thickens for 1–2 minutes.
Serve cod over cooked rice. Drizzle with extra sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Substitute cod with halibut, tilapia, or haddock for variation.
Add a side of steamed broccoli or bok choy for a complete meal.
Use sesame oil for a nuttier depth of flavor in the glaze.
