Teriyaki cod is a beloved Japanese dish known for its glossy, savory-sweet glaze and tender, flaky fish. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.
Ingredients: 2 cod fillets (about 6 oz each), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp sake (optional), 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 tsp sesame oil, green onions for garnish.
Steps:
1. Prep the Fish: Pat the cod dry with paper towels. Score the skin lightly to prevent curling.
2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake, ginger, and garlic until the sugar dissolves.
3. Sear the Fish: Heat sesame oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high. Place cod skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
4. Glaze the Cod: Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan. Let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish to coat evenly. Simmer until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
5. Serve: Transfer cod to a plate, drizzle with remaining sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions.
Tips: For extra flavor, marinate the cod in half the sauce for 15 minutes before cooking. Serve with steamed rice or stir-fried veggies for a balanced meal. Enjoy this restaurant-quality dish in just 20 minutes!
