Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat the fillets with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cod fillets in the pan, skin side down if applicable.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes to create the Asian dressing.
Drizzle the Asian dressing over the cooked cod fillets.
Garnish the fillets with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a full meal.
