How to Make Baked Cod With A Ginger Corn Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lightly brush 2 (6-ounce) cod fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- 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.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Spoon the ginger-corn sauce onto two serving plates. Top with the baked cod fillets.
- 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!
