Step-by-Step Instructions for Ginger Soy Fish
  1. In a deep dish or a zip-top bag, combine the marinade ingredients: minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar or honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Stir well to create the marinade.
  2. Carefully place the fish filets into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
  3. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Remove the fish from the marinade and lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange the seasoned fish filets on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
