This Baked Honey Marinated Cod is a simple and flavorful dish featuring tender cod fillets marinated in a sweet and savory honey, garlic, and soy sauce blend. The cod is baked until flaky and tender, making for a perfect healthy weeknight dinner that’s quick to prepare and full of natural flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

For the Fish

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the cod evenly.
  4. Bake the Cod: Arrange the marinated cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. This cod pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours to avoid the soy sauce overpowering the delicate fish flavor.
  • Use fresh cod fillets for best texture and taste.
  • Adjust baking time depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
