Honey-soy cod  

**serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 4-6 Cod Fillets (6-8oz each)
• 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
• 3 Tbsp Honey
• 1-2 Scallions

A few notes on making this:

• I think cod is such an underrated fish— it has a nice mild flavor and cooks up quickly for a perfect weeknight dinner. 
• Add a little extra honey and soy sauce if you are making more than four fillets. 
• Take care not to cook your garlic very long in the hot pan or it will burn.
• Serve with ginger bok choy and rice for a complete dinner. Ready.

Directions:

• Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels.
• Season with salt and pepper on both sides. 
• In skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. 
• Add the seasoned fillets and cook 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned.
• Flip fillets and add minced garlic to the pan. (I like using this fish spatula.)
• Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until just fragrant (do not overcook your garlic, or it will burn and become bitter.)
• Add the honey and soy sauce. 
• Cook, occasionally spooning the sauce over the fillets, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
• Remove from heat. 
• Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with rice.
