Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or sole) - 300 grams
• Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove

Steps

1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create a marinade.
