This recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy a quick and delicious meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup honey
80g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g
1.50 lb white fish
680g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger root, and sesame oil. Whisk until well-blended to create a smooth marinade.
2. Marinate the Fish:
- Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a large zip-lock bag.
- Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring that every piece is well-coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the zip-lock bag.
- Refrigerate and let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare for Baking:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Fish:
- Bake the fish in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
6. Serve:
- Carefully remove the fish from the baking sheet using a spatula and place it on a serving platter.
- Optionally, drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the fish for extra flavor or heat the marinade in a saucepan until it thickens slightly before drizzling.
7. Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added color and flavor.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your sweet soy and ginger fish hot, paired with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor. You can grate it finely or chop it into small pieces.

- Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse into the fish.

- Opt for a white fish fillet such as cod, haddock, or tilapia for a tender texture.

- Cook the fish on medium heat to avoid overcooking, ensuring it remains juicy and tender.

- Consider serving the dish with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
