Miso Glazed Cod
This miso glazed cod is tender, flaky, and full of deep umami flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness. A quick marinade and a short broil create a beautifully caramelized glaze, making it a restaurant-quality dish you can make at home!
Equipment
- Small Mixing Bowl For preparing the miso glaze
- Brush or Spoon For coating the cod fillets with glaze
- Baking sheet For broiling the fish
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
