Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced Fresh is best for flavor
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Always use fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey Adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil For drizzling on fish
For the Fish
  • 4 pieces fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or salmon), about 6 ounces each Substitute with fresh fish available
Garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 pieces lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cooking
  1. After marinating, remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  2. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the fillets.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and turns a light golden color.
  4. While the fish is baking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with the thickened marinade and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serving
  1. Serve the Ginger Soy Fish warm, accompanied by lemon wedges.
