Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well-blended.
Gently place the cod fillets into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
Arrange the marinated cod in the baking dish, pouring any remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Optional: Broil the cod for an additional 2 to 3 minutes for crispiness.
Once done, remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the cod for at least 30 minutes but up to 2 hours will yield richer flavors. Pat dry frozen cod before marinating to avoid excess moisture.
