Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil. Take your cod fillets and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is the secret to getting a good texture. Season both sides of the fish with salt and black pepper, then place them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour the sauce evenly over the cod fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a bit of extra color, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the sauce.
- Remove the dish from the oven and use a spoon to drizzle the hot pan juices back over the fish. Transfer the fillets to individual plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side to brighten the flavors.
