– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Creating Easy Ginger Soy Cod is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Here are the steps you need:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
2. Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil if necessary.
4. Cook the Cod: Once the pan is hot, remove the cod from the marinade and place it in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. You want the fish to be opaque and easily flake with a fork.
5. Reduce the Marinade: While the cod is cooking, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. Plate the Dish: Once the cod is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the fish for added flavor.
7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the cod. Your Easy Ginger Soy Cod is now ready to be enjoyed!
