Quickly Baked Cod with a Delicious Honey Glaze, Leaving it Deliciously Tender

Baked Honey Marinated Cod is a scrumptious dish that can be prepared in less than 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a weeknight meal. This recipe requires only one bowl for the marinade and one baking sheet for preparation, ensuring a fuss-free cooking experience.

The main ingredients for this dish are cod fillets, honey, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and parchment paper. Coconut milk can be added to rice as a serving suggestion, enhancing the overall flavour of the meal.

Before baking, the cod fillets should be marinated for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes if possible, to allow the flavours to soak in. The 10-minute rule for marinating cod applies: less than 10 minutes and the flavour won't soak in, more than 30 and the honey can overpower. Set a timer!

When it comes to the honey, you can adjust the amount to taste. Love it sweet? Add an extra teaspoon of honey. Prefer more savory? Cut back by half. The soy sauce will balance it perfectly either way.

Parchment paper is recommended for baking the cod. It prevents sticking without any metallic taste, and that precious honey glaze won't get left behind. Avoid opening the oven door during baking: That blast of cold air can make the cod cook unevenly.

When reheating, use low heat: 30 seconds in the microwave or 10 minutes in a 300°F oven works wonders without drying out the fish. A small amount of extra honey can be added before reheating to revive the sticky-sweet glaze.

Overcooking the cod can result in loss of its moist texture. Using room temperature fish is best: It cooks more evenly and absorbs the marinade better.

Leftover baked honey marinated cod can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This recipe yields 220 calories per serving, making it a nutritious option for a quick and easy dinner. Enjoy your Baked Honey Marinated Cod!
