For the Marinade

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil.
Marination
  1. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10-15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a little oil to the pan. Gently add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet.
  2. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving

Notes

For substitutions, try using salmon or trout. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat gently on low heat with a splash of water to keep moist.
