Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 black cod fillets
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 black cod fillets, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and green onions for garnish.
- In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended to create a marinade.
- Place the black cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the fish is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will prepare the oven for roasting the black cod.
- After marinating, transfer the black cod fillets to a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the black cod for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the fish with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking for added flavor.
- While the cod is roasting, prepare the green onions by slicing them thinly on the diagonal for garnish.
- Once the black cod is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Then, carefully transfer the fillets to serving plates.
- Garnish the black cod with the sliced green onions. Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious Black Cod with Ginger and Hoisin Sauce!
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Allow the black cod to marinate for the full 10 minutes to ensure it absorbs all the delicious flavors of the hoisin sauce and ginger. For an extra kick, consider marinating it longer in the refrigerator.
- Perfect Cooking Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to 400°F (200°C) before placing the fish inside. This high temperature helps to achieve a beautifully caramelized exterior while keeping the fish tender and flaky.
- Baste for Extra Juiciness: Don’t forget to baste the fish halfway through cooking with the reserved marinade. This step adds moisture and enhances the flavor, making each bite even more delectable.
- Garnish with Freshness: The green onions not only add a pop of color but also provide a fresh crunch that complements the rich flavors of the dish. Slice them thinly and sprinkle generously for the best presentation.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your Black Cod with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables to create a complete meal that’s sure to impress.
