Baked Honey Marinated Cod

I love cooking cod fillets. They are meaty and compared to other white fish, have fewer bones. Lately, I have been using this versatile fish in soups and stews. I have also fried and used them in a sweet and sour fish recipe. Just recently, I made this baked honey cod that my family really enjoyed. The cod were first marinated in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, cider vinegar, ground pepper and ginger for 24 hours and then baked in the oven until it flaked easily when pierced with a fork.  Marinating them overnight made the cod very tasty. One caution is not to over bake them. Other than that, you will definitely have moist and succulent fish to enjoy.

• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1½ tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients (except for fish) in a medium-sized airtight mixing bowl. Add cod and marinate for 24 hours. If possible, flip half way through marinade time to allow even flavor distribution.
2. Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove cod from marinade and bake on the center rack for 7-9 minutes or until cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
