Ingredients

4 cod fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 green onions, sliced for garnish

1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a bit of oil.

Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinate the Cod: Place the cod fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over the top. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 15-30 minutes for best flavor.

Bake the Cod: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Garnish & Serve: Once baked, remove the cod from the oven, and sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve hot with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
