Equipment

  • Ovenproof skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets cod 6 ounces each or 170 grams
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil 30 ml
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced, 6 grams
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, 6 grams
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari 60 ml
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar 15 ml
  • 1 tbsp erythritol 12 grams
  • 1 tsp sesame oil 5 ml
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes 1 gram
  • 4 cups bok choy chopped, 480 grams
  • ¼ cup green onions sliced, 25 grams
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish, 9 grams

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Place the cod fillets in the skillet and sear each side for about 2 minutes until they form a light crust. Remove the cod and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, erythritol, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to create the braising sauce.
  • Add the bok choy to the skillet and gently toss in the sauce until slightly wilted.
  • Place the cod fillets back into the skillet on top of the bok choy.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and braise for 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Ensure your soy sauce or tamari is gluten-free if necessary for your dietary needs.
Adjust the level of red pepper flakes to suit your preferred level of heat.
The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
Always check the internal temperature of your fish to ensure it has reached 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
