Description
This vibrant citrus-ginger cod is pan-seared to perfection and glazed with a tangy sauce, served alongside a colorful medley of sautéed vegetables.
Ingredients
4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Whisk soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and lime zest to make glaze.
Season cod with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Sear cod 3–4 minutes per side until flaky. Pour half the glaze over during final minute. Remove from skillet.
Add remaining oil to the skillet and sauté broccoli, bell pepper, squash, and snap peas for ~5 minutes until crisp-tender.

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Use seasonal veggies like asparagus or mushrooms.
