Baking sheet For broiling the fish
4 fillets cod skinless, about 6 oz each ¼ cup white miso paste mild and slightly sweet 2 tablespoons soy sauce for depth of flavor 2 tablespoons honey adds sweetness and caramelization 1 tablespoon rice vinegar adds a hint of acidity 1 teaspoon sesame oil for a subtle nutty aroma 1 tablespoon chopped green onions for garnish 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
Place cod fillets in a shallow dish and coat with the miso glaze. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the cod fillets on the baking sheet and broil for 6-8 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
For extra caramelization, brush on more miso glaze halfway through broiling.
If using frozen cod, thaw completely and pat dry before marinating.
Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried greens for a complete meal.
