In an oven-proof skillet with a lid, sauté the onion, leek, celery, garlic and ginger root until the onion is translucent. Add the fillets to this mixture and sear all over until lightly browned.

Remove from the heat and cover. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. As with many baked fish recipes, this is great served with rice. Bring the rest of the marinade to the boil in the skillet and pour it over the cod fillets and rice.
