Quick Summary

This dish features tender cod fillets baked alongside fresh bok choy, drizzled with a light ginger-soy dressing. It is a high-protein, low-fat meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

4 cod fillets (6oz each)
2 heads baby bok choy
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp honey
2 green onions, sliced
Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim bok choy ends and quarter lengthwise. Rinse well.
3. Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, vinegar, and honey in a small bowl.
4. Arrange cod and bok choy on the sheet. Drizzle evenly with the dressing.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Stewart's Secret: Add a splash of water to the baking sheet before sliding it into the oven. This creates a gentle steam that keeps the bok choy bright green and the fish moist.
