Soy-Glazed Cod & Bok Choy Bowls
A highly efficient, well-written recipe that effectively balances flavor and technique, needing only a slight temperature adjustment for the cod.
Score: 9/10
Suggested fixes
- In step 6, change the target temperature for the cod from 145°F to 135°F.
Issues
- medium / flavor: The target temperature of 145°F for the cod is too high and will likely dry out this lean white fish. Pulling it at 135°F ensures a tender, flaky texture while carryover cooking finishes the job.
Strengths
- Perfectly accounts for the sodium contribution of the soy sauce when salting the fish, adhering strictly to the Careme salt ratios.
- Efficiently utilizes passive rice cooking time for active prep and cooking of the vegetables and fish.
- Correctly formats the glaze mixture as an isolated bulleted list with exact ingredient quantities.
- Clear separation of bok choy stems and leaves to ensure even cooking.
