Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or avocado oil)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Heat the cooking oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets and set them aside on a plate.
Pour the prepared marinade into the same skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the marinade over the top, allowing the fish to soak up the flavors for about 1 minute.
Transfer the fish to a serving plate and sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
