How to Make Apple Ginger Pan Sauce For Cod
- In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple ginger mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Place 2 (4-6 ounce) frozen cod fillets in the skillet. Pour the apple ginger sauce over the cod, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully flip the cod fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are cooked and the fish is opaque throughout.
- Serve immediately over rice with asparagus, or on a bagel with tartar sauce, onion, and tomato. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
