GLAZED COD WITH BOK CHOY, GINGER AND OYSTER SAUCE
This quick one-skillet meal gets a boost of flavor from oyster sauce, a salty-sweet condiment made from concentrated oyster juice and soy sauce that's often used in Chinese cooking. Here, it melds with garlic, ginger and butter to create a velvety glaze for cod fillets. If cod is unavailable, hake, striped bass or even salmon are fine substitutes. Steamed rice, soba or egg noodles are all perfect canvases for soaking up the flavorful juices.

Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add bok choy, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add oyster sauce, soy sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and bring to a simmer over medium. Season fish lightly with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Simmer gently over medium-low for 5 minutes. Turn fish and simmer, spooning sauce over fish, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Swirl in butter and lime juice and simmer over medium heat until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Serve fish and bok choy over rice or noodles. Drizzle with remaining sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest cod possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Use a light hand with the ginger. A little bit goes a long way, so don't overdo it.
- Broil the cod until it is just cooked through. Overcooked cod will be tough and dry.
- Serve the cod immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Broiled ginger cod is a healthy and delicious seafood dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection in just a few minutes, and the ginger marinade adds a bright, flavorful twist. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
