This Chinese-style sheet pan cod makes a delicious, Asian-inspired dinner.
If you love Asian flavors, you’ll love this cod recipe. A little savory, a little sweet, it makes a great addition to your weekly meal plan. Chinese food is definitely ingrained in our American culture and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. We’ve all had nights where a run for Chinese food totally hit the spot. But lets face it, you were hungry an hour later!

Now… I have no proof of this, and I have done exactly zero research on this. But I have a funny feeling that the American version of Chinese food is simply so processed and uses such cheap ingredients, that it can’t help but process through our systems quickly. But not with this recipe!! Serve over some brown rice with some stir-fry veggies and you’ve got yourself one heck of a deliciously filling meal!
This one is easy to prep for the freezer (preps in minutes!!), and cooks in only 20 minutes on a sheet pan! You can’t get much easier then that. So give it a try. I’m sure it’ll become a favorite for you, just like it did for me!

Are there stores that you can buy these at aside from restaurant supply stores and such? Thanks for another good idea
Anne – You mean the sheet pans? Most places that have baking supplies should have them, or there’s always amazon. They have everything.
What can I substitute for the sucant or liquid stevia? I have powdered stevia would that work?
Carole – Sure! Just use a very small amount because a little goes a long way!
“Place all ingredients except the tomato in a 1 gallon zipper-top, plastic bag and toss to combine. ”
Uuumm…what tomato??
Pixie – Thanks for catching that! It was a typo.
Sounds like a great idea especially for those busy days. If I wanted to make and cook this on the same night, how long would I marinate the fish? How long should it bake if fresh?
Melissa – If it’s not frozen, marinate for about 10 minutes. But keep a little of the sauce on reserve (don’t marinate the fish in it) to use as a sauce after cooking. Baking time depends on the oven and size of your piece of fish. Maybe try about 8 minutes at 350 F and go from there.
I cant eat Stevia, can sugar be used?
Kathleen – You can use whatever sweetener you’re comfortable with. However, you’ll have to add it to taste. I’m not sure of the amount you would need to use.
