Ingredients
- 500g white fish fillets
- 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water

Directions
- Prep the Fish: Start by rinsing the fish fillets under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into toddler-friendly sized pieces (about 2 cm wide).
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
- Cook the Fish: Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fish pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked fish in the skillet. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve: Transfer the fish teriyaki to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with your choice of sides.
