Instructions
Creating your Ginger Lime Black Cod is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Fish: In a bowl, combine minced ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Mix well. Add the black cod fillets and coat them in the marinade. Let them sit for about 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
3. Prepare the Fish: Remove the cod from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season the fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Cook the Cod: Place the fillets in the hot skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Rest the Fish: Once cooked, remove the cod from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
6. Plate the Dish: Serve the black cod on a plate. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for added flavor.
7. Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an added pop of color and flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that not only tastes incredible but also looks beautiful on the plate.
