How to Make Baked Cod With A Ginger Corn Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a blender, combine 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Lightly brush 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  6. Place the cod fillets in a baking dish, bottom-side down. Top each fillet with a generous amount of the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Spoon the ginger-corn sauce onto two serving plates. Top with the baked cod fillets.
  9. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately with your favorite baked potato and side salad.

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!
