  2. Place the cod fillets in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 green onions (thinly sliced), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 clove garlic (minced), and 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning.
  4. Pour the sauce evenly over the cod fillets.
  5. Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
  6. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
