Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
  2. 2Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
