Ingredients:

Serves 4

• 4 4-6oz cod fillet
• 4 heads of baby bok choy, split in half

Directions:

1. Combine soy sauce, hoisin, sriracha, lime juice, ground ginger, garlic powder, and Chinese hot mustard into a bowl and stir to combine
2. Place cod fillets on a well-oiled baking sheet and coat each fillet with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, reserve any remaining sauce for garnish at the end
3. Place cod fillets in a pre-heated oven set to broil and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily
