Recipe from The Cooking Guy

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup sake
• 1 glove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• Juice of 1 whole lemon
• 1 whole cod fillet – about 2 pounds
• Green onion and sesame seeds to garnish

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients except the cod in a saucepan and bring to a boil
2. Turn down heat and simmer until slightly thickened and a bit syrupy – about 10 minutes
3. Preheat oven to broil and cover a baking sheet with foil, it’s messy
4. Place cod on the foil and baste well with the sauce
5. Broil the cod about 6 inches away from the glowing coils until done – approximately 7 minutes for every inch of thickness, and If it starts to get crispy and a little bit black in spots, that’s good
6. Remove from oven, baste with extra sauce and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds
