Ingredients

Cod Fillets

4 cod fillets
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Asian Glaze

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp ginger grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

Instructions

Preparation

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Heat over medium, stirring until honey dissolves.
Mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Add to the saucepan and stir until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
Place the cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the glaze over the fillets using a basting brush. Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Serving

Transfer the glazed cod to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.

Storage

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350°F before serving.
