Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes + 20–30 minutes marinating
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes
Ingredients
4 Black Cod fillets
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame seeds, optional
Sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
Marinate the fish: Place the Black Cod fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare for baking: Remove the Black Cod from the marinade and place the fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spoon a little of the marinade over each fillet.
Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Caramelize the glaze: For an extra golden, caramelized finish, broil the fish for 1–2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it, as the maple syrup can burn quickly.
Garnish & serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
