Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Directions
Step 1
Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Lightly coat the fillets with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cod fillets in the pan, skin side down if applicable.

Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes to create the Asian dressing.
Step 6
Drizzle the Asian dressing over the cooked cod fillets.
Step 7
Garnish the fillets with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a full meal.
