Ingredients

Units Scale

For the baked cod:

  • 4 cod fillets
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the orange and avocado salsa:

  • 2 large oranges, peeled, segmented, and chopped
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish and brush the honey-soy mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cod flakes easily with a fork and has a beautiful golden glaze.
  5. While the cod is baking, combine the chopped oranges, diced avocados, finely chopped red onion, and fresh parsley in a bowl.
  6. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and gently toss to combine.
  7. Season the salsa with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  8. Once your cod is beautifully baked and your salsa is prepared, plate the cod fillets, generously spoon the refreshing orange and avocado salsa over the top, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

To perfect this dish, ensure your cod is fresh and cook it just until it’s flaky and moist. Don’t overcook, as it can become dry. The contrasting flavors of sweet honey and salty soy in the glaze complement the vibrant citrus and creamy avocado in the salsa. Serve with a side of rice or couscous for a complete meal and enjoy!
