Whisk the ingredients together and bring to a low boil, boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. 2. Heat another skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season the cod on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. 3. Once the pan is hot, add the cod and cook for about 3-4 minutes .4. Turn the cod over pour sauce on top of cod, while cooking spoon sauce over cod, cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through. 5. Serve warm with the slaw and quinoa.
