A delightful baked fish recipe with a sesame glaze, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the fish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil until well combined.
Mixing the glaze thoroughly ensures a balanced flavor in every bite.
Place the fish fillets in a baking dish and pour the glaze over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Letting the fish sit in the glaze for a few minutes enhances the flavor.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish for doneness by gently pressing with a fork; it should flake easily.
While the fish is baking, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
Stir the seeds constantly to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
Remove the fish from the oven, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
Serve the fish hot for the best flavor and texture.
