Instructions
Make the sauce and Prep Fish

- Cut the cod into 1.5-inch thick pieces. This helps the fish cook evenly, fast, have more sauce, and stay moist.1 lb Pacific cod fillet
Marinate
- Coat the fish in the sauce in the bowl. Then, place the cod pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon any extra sauce over the fish.Let the fish sit for 8-10 minutes while you preheat the oven or air fryer. This helps the fish not be as cold if you had just taken it out of the refrigerator and also helps the sauce stick.
Preheat
- While the fish marinates, preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F.
Cook
- Bake or air fry for 10 minutes, until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Rest & serve
- Remove immediately and let the fish rest for 1 minute. This keeps it tender and juicy.
Garnish
- Top with an added pinch of sea salt, sliced scallions, and a drizzle of chili crunch oil if desired. Serve and spoon the juices over the fish. Enjoy!Sliced scallions, Chili crunch oil, Sesame seeds
