This Amazing Baked Honey Marinated Cod recipe offers a simple, flavorful way to prepare cod using a sweet and savory marinade made from honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic. Ready in under 30 minutes, this dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that tastes like a restaurant-quality meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Cod

  • 4 cod fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the fish evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic until the mixture is glossy and well combined, infusing the marinade with sweet and savory flavors.
  3. Prepare the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to help the marinade adhere and prevent steaming. Lightly season the fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  4. Marinate and Arrange: Place the seasoned cod fillets in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the honey marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is coated well.
  5. Bake the Fish: Bake the cod in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork; it should appear opaque and separate easily. If not, bake for an additional 1–2 minutes, careful not to overcook.

Notes

  • Patting the fish dry before seasoning improves marinade adherence and texture.
  • Do not overcook the cod to maintain moisture and tenderness.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Use fresh garlic to maximize flavor impact in the marinade.
