Ingredients

• 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 pieces green onion (scallion)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the sauce.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness, until golden brown and easily releases from the pan.

Step 5

Gently flip the fish fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the ginger sauce over the fillets evenly.

Step 6

Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the fish occasionally with the sauce, until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the pan and plate it. Spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the fish.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onion and serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
