Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

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.

Cooking

  • 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.
