• 340 gram of fresh broccoli florets
• 3 tbsp grapeseed oil & coconut aminos
• 3 tbsp soy sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and sprinkle a baking sheet with oil. Set aside.
2. Whisk 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, coconut aminos, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until well combined. Or shake all ingredients in a jar with a lid.
3. Add ⅓ cup of honey garlic sauce to the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Place on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is caramelized.
4. Pat the fish dry. Season with coarse salt and cracked black pepper.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the black cod with the skin side up. Cook about until seared and golden, about 4 minutes. Then flip.
6. Add the remaining honey garlic sauce to the skillet. Cook about 5 minutes, until the sauce is reduced by about half and the fish is cooked to 60°C. Generously baste the cod with the sauce. Serve warm with a side of warm broccoli and rice, if desired.
