Ingredients

4 cod fillets (6oz each)
2 heads baby bok choy, halved
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
Sea salt and black pepper

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season cod fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Place on the tray.
3. Toss bok choy with sesame oil, garlic, and soy sauce. Arrange around the fish.
4. Roast for 12–15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Stewart's Secret: Place a few thin lemon rounds directly on top of the cod before baking. The citrus juices infuse the meat, keeping it incredibly moist.
