Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of liquid honey, 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
Pat cod fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper, and arrange in a baking dish.
Pour the honey marinade over the cod fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the cod turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
