Description
A quick and easy recipe for honey soy glazed white fish that combines sweet and savory flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets White fish (firm, mild varieties like cod or haddock)
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds (toasted)
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with pepper.
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of neutral oil.
- Sear the fillets skin-side down (or presentation-side down if skinless) for 2–3 minutes.
- Flip the fillets carefully, reduce the heat to medium, and spoon half of the glaze over each piece.
- Let the glaze bubble and thicken slightly, about 2–3 minutes.
- Spoon the remaining glaze over the fish once more and cook until the fish reaches an opaque center, roughly 1–3 more minutes.
- Remove fish to a warm plate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of water or stock and drizzle over vegetables or rice.
