1 Stir honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside.
2 Pat cod fillets dry. In a shallow dish, whisk flour, salt and pepper together. Dip each filet in flour mixture; turn to coat on all sides. Remove to a plate.
3 Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and butter until melted. Carefully add cod. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side; turn over carefully, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
4 Add in garlic, cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Pour over the honey-soy mixture and cook until bubbly and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
5 Remove cod to a dinner plate, spoon over any sauce in the skillet, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.
