Ingredients

For the honey garlic marinade

  • 0.5 teaspoon ginger paste or fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 0.5 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional

For the vegetable rice

  • 1 cup rice dried weight
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ white onion diced
  • red bell pepper sliced
  • yellow bell pepper sliced
  • green bell pepper sliced
  • 2 tablespoon corn
  • 1 teaspoon dried coriander

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F. Once at temperature place your cod fillets in an ovenproof dish. Combine the ingredients for the marinade and spoon over the fish. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the fish is thoroughly cooked.
  • Cook your rice according to packet instructions. In a pan, fry the peppers and corn with the coriander in a little olive oil for 7-8 minutes until softened then combine with the rice.
  • Plate up your rice and fish, and sprinkle the sesame seeds over your fish if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!

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.
  • If you want a particularly flavourful fish and like a hit of spice, then use more ginger than stated.
