Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Baking
  1. Place cod fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush glaze evenly over each fillet.
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Do not drown the fish in glaze; aim for a glossy finish. Broil for 30 seconds for caramelized edges but watch carefully.
