Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Cod fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the cod fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the cod fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the cooked cod to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, honey, and soy sauce.

Step 5

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Step 6

Pour the orange ginger mixture into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked cod fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish to coat.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through.

Step 10

Transfer the cod to serving plates and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
