How To Make Cod With Hoisin Glaze
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse the pieces of fish, then pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside while you make the hoisin glaze.
Make Hoisin Glaze For The Cod
In a medium sized bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, sesame oil, finely grated fresh ginger, and garlic chili paste. Stir these ingredients, until the sauce becomes smooth. NOTE: By the way, if you need hoisin sauce, be sure and try my recipe for Homemade Hoisin Sauce, and make your own!
Add the cod to the bowl of sauce, one piece at a time. Gently turn fish over and coat both sides of the cod with the hoisin glaze, covering all the exposed areas.
Bake The Cod With Hoisin Glaze
Spray a baking pan with some non-stick baking spray. Place the cod pieces in the dish, in a single layer. Bake the fish at 425 degrees between 8-12 minutes, until the cod with hoisin glaze is cooked through. When done, the fish should no longer be translucent looking in the very center.
NOTE: The baking times will vary, based on the thickness of the cod you’re using, so check them at 8 minutes, and keep an eye on it until they’re cooked through.
Once the cod with hoisin glaze is done baking, remove the pan from oven. Transfer the cod onto individual serving plates. Drizzle the fish with additional hoisin glaze, if desired, then garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve, and enjoy!
See how quick and easy that was? You can have delicious, healthy cod with hoisin glaze on the table in just about 20 minutes from start to finish!
I really hope you enjoy this simple, yet wonderful tasting Cod with Hoisin Glaze! The recipe is so easy to make, and better yet, it’s very low in calories! Have a great day!
