Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 frozen cod fillets

For the honey ginger glaze

  • 1 tablespoon root ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoon honey

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390F / 200C.
  • In a small bowl combine the olive oil, honey, grated root ginger, garlic, apple cider vinegar (if using), thyme, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Whisk together.
  • Place the frozen cod fillets in an ovenproof dish in a single layer. Spoon the honey ginger glaze over the cod.
  • Bake the cod fillets for 25 minutes, or until they reach 145F / 63C using an instant read meat thermometer. Cook time will vary slightly depending upon the size and thickness of the cod fillets. The fish should be white and easily flaked with a fork.

Notes

  • Ensure the fish is white throughout and can be easily flaked with a fork before serving.
  • My low histamine readers will likely need to take the fish straight from the freezer to the oven. It is usually best not to leave it to thaw or stand on the counter.
  • The fish will produce liquid as it cooks, which can be discarded.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate. I have had to source the information from several sources for this recipe, and there was not consensus on details.
