Szechuan Chili‑Glazed Black Cod

Ingredients

• 3 pieces Black cod fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced(optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the cod fillets dry and season lightly with salt; set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili flakes to form the glaze.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat (about 2 minutes). Add the cod fillets and sear 3‑4 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through.

   Reduce heat to medium, pour the glaze over the fish, and simmer for 2‑3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until it thickens and coats the cod.

   Transfer the cod to serving plates, drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan, and garnish with sliced green onions and cilantro if desired.
