¾ cup honey
½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup toasted sesame seed oil
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1½ tsp freshly ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients (except for fish) in a medium-sized airtight mixing bowl. Add cod and marinate for 24 hours. If possible, flip half way through marinade time to allow even flavor distribution.
