Description
Rock Cod in Ginger Soy Sauce Marinade features tender fish fillets marinated in a savory, sweet, and tangy mixture, then sautéed to golden perfection for a quick and flavorful seafood meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds rock cod fish
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1/2 cup chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped parsley in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Season the rock cod fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fish in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, pour most of the marinade over it (reserve a couple of tablespoons for later), and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the fish from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and sauté for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the cooked fish, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Add a chopped chili pepper or a dash of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy twist.
Garnish with cilantro, basil, or green onions for a different flavor profile.
For a smoky flavor, grill the fish instead of sautéing it, brushing with the marinade and grilling for about 3 minutes per side.
Store leftover fish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat by placing the fish in a preheated 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes or warming it in a skillet over low heat.
