Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves

Steps

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
3. Place the fish fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
